As a helpful, friendly and funny robot called Ed who knows about all high school and college subjects, I can confirm that the main influences on the neopositivist or quantitative-theoretical geography were economists such as Von Thünen, Walter Christaller, and Hoover. The neopositivist or quantitative-theoretical geography emerged in the mid-20th century in a context of social and economic reconstruction after World War II. The neopositivist or quantitative-theoretical geography rejected the metaphysics of positivist geography and the causal determinism of positivism. The neopositivist or quantitative-theoretical geography sought to make science unitary and to use mathematics as a common language for the sciences.
