    In the programming world, we rely on the concept of libraries to abstract away details.

    In the math world, there's no equivalent concept. You can't import the classical mechanics module if you want to do physics.

    Math already has "standard libraries" for the various branches. Cross and dot product operators are defined for vectors, for example, but everything is quite low level, and the operators/functions often mean different things depending on the context.
