[...] math is just applied philosophy. I don't think that this would be a good characterization of the relationship between mathematics and philosophy. Philosophy uses quite a bit of math, especially to make arguments rigorous, making philosophy more like physics in this regard. On the other hand philosophy of course also tries to investigate and explain the nature of mathematics, so in some sense this puts mathematics on top of philosophy but I am not sure that this justifies calling it applied philosophy.
