      fantasy settings with high powered magic are secretly all captive societies being kept at a low tech level by inimical aliens. if people can become artillery by learning to wave their hands, nobody has to learn ballistics, which keeps mathematics from ever getting off the ground

      Depends on how accessible the magic is and whether or not learning how to use it also entails learning some STEM in order to control it properly.

      Like, if magic is Brandon Sanderson neo-Wolfe stuff then it certainly seems very mechanical and quantifiable...

      a fallback failsafe you have there is that if math develops as a handmaiden to magic, it's easy to foster cultural values such that it's regarded as properly a part of the ~higher mysteries~ and applying it to gross matter would be offensive and disgusting

          considering that the entire Roman Empire was constructed by people who had no concept of "zero" as a number, this doesn't seem as far-fetched as you might imagine
