Do you think mathematics was made by humans or discovered? A lot of mathematicians debate on this. What do you think? Write what you think with a reason why. And when I say mathematics, I'm talking about the beauty and fittingness of numbers that piece together the truth of math. So I ask you, what is your opinion?

PS I am not trying to start a war here or anything between ppl who think its invented and ppl who think is discovered. Dont go overboard or anything. 

 

PSS When I say invented, you know what I mean. When I say discovered, I mean math was always there. Got it?

 

Think about it. A lot.

That's an age-old debate......was it "invented," or.....was it always out there in the "ether" waitng to be discovered???

Since I always like a bit of the "fantastic" and the influence of the "Muses," I tend go with the second school of thought.....

Of course, who knows???....I could be wrong......LOL.....!!!

Like you guys, I also think math was always there. A quote I heard once was "If you believe in God, the answer is obvious." Some forms of math, like the base ten number system, was invented. Maybe all math actually is invented.Whatever the answer is, we still find/make news techniques of math and learn.
