who invented math?

How did it get started? No one can know for sure, but we can use our imaginations to think about how mathematics might have gotten its start. For example, if we go all the way back to prehistoric humans gathering berries to eat, we can imagine how this basic task probably gave rise for a need for math. If you and your prehistoric buddy gathered a basket full of berries, you'd probably agree to split them evenly. First, you'd need to know how many berries you gathered. That means you'd need to count them. You might first need to come up with names for the basic units of measurement. Is this how counting and the first numbers came about? No one knows, but you can see how this might be how it happened.
