What difference would it make if logic was either of the two?

the logical answer is: both

In philosophy, logic is the study of reasoning, encompassing both formal systems (like propositional logic) and informal arguments in natural language, focusing on valid inference, the nature of truth, and normative principles, often extending to metaphysical questions like modality. In mathematics, logic is a formal tool for constructing and verifying proofs within rigorous, symbolic systems (e.g., first-order logic, set theory), prioritizing consistency and provability over broader conceptual debates. While both fields share classical logic, philosophy explores reasoning's broader implications, including non-classical logics, whereas mathematics uses logic to ensure the correctness of formal systems, making the former more expansive and the latter more focused and technical.

Clearly you don't understand Venn Diagrams.

Math and philosophy are downstream from logic. This is like asking if math is algrebra or geometry.

Math is logic. The better question is what can logic actually benefit philosophy..

math is an extension of logic, logic is the deshittification of philosophy

logic is a formal science, and so is math.
metalogic is philosophy.

Logic is obviously philosophy. Math was separated from logic since the very beginning. It was only through autistic western hamfisting the two were brought together, only to prove mathematics is fundamentally fucked as a system of logic (godel).But that shouldn't stop you from pursuing math. It's actually freeing to be working in a paradoxical system.

Logic is a field of philosophy (basically everything is). Math is a field of logic.

Sure, math is called arithmetic logic for other reasons entirely.

Reminder Math is an extension of Logic and Logic is an extension of philosophy. OP is retarded. The foundation of any good math education (which most of you retards don't have, especially OP) begins with philosophy classes.

Calling the third rule negation elimination in a class aimed at computer scientists of all things should be a crime

Neither maybe. Who says it has to reduce to one or the other? On the one hand, philosophers historically were the ones to develop logic with mathematicians being newcomers and there are still a lot of philosophical questions regarding logic. Philosophers specializing in logic are still very busy especially in regard to non-classical logic. On the other hand, logic is obviously useful in mathematics and treating it mathematically has drawn out incredible results.

I wonder what would compel this "person's" handlers to create a keyword-triggered spambot that starts chimping out whenever it finds the word "philosophy" in a webpage scrape.

wow here comes the big boy philosopher. oh wait, "wondering" is too puny and faggoty for his settled structured autismus way of "thinking"!

You can literally invent any logic you want by simply extending the system K in modal logic. Out of it has come deontic logic, tense logic, locative logic, and a bunch of other shit. Logic by this standard is indeed just philosophy. Math is special in that it utilizes quantificational logic which has similar patterns to the above mentioned logics.A logic of ethics can operate off of the above mentioned deontic logic, a logic of space and location by the above mentioned locative logic, a logic of time using temporal logic, etc. It's actually sorta arbitrary what you can do. All logics follow a very similar patterns though, for example they'll have duals (True, False in PL; the logical connectives ∧,∨; ∀,∃ in quantificational logic; □, ◇ in modal logic; O and P in deontic logic; G, F and H, P in tense logic) which are obtained by introducing negation (~True=False, ~∀xP(x)=∃x~P(x), □~p=◇~p, ~(p∧q)=~p∨~q, etc.).
