What is the meaning and grammar of “as with” in the following sentence:
Symbolic logic is a mathematical model of deductive thought; as with other branches of mathematics it has grown beyond the circumstances of its birth.
[The “as with”] was probably located after a different sentence in a paragraph. For example the sentence before would be something like:
Algebra is a very complex and complicated form of math. As with other branches of mathematics it has grown beyond the circumstances of its birth.
Then in this case the “as with” means “the same thing applies to ……”.
