Yeah and still does from philosophy. A lot of things took off in the 1850 - 1930 range, that gave math its own capacity to do more than be a foil for physics calculations, and its limited place as an element of liberal education.

Sadly, due to complexity and a lot of actors, cognitive barriers between fields rise up after a few generations. So, reinventing the wheel happens. But, historical precedent is not ownership. So rethinking about these topics, in a different context, is not too bad, even though it can be highly derivative.
