is math discovered or invented?

Discovered. Situations have always existed it is just that we stumbled upon it due to some need.

Discovered, Noone is sadistic enough to invent this :laugh:

Discovered. All was put here by the One True Living God.

Invented. Based on an abstraction we call "numbers".

The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a fucking golf cart.

Neither. It's a tool used to describe and prove/disprove new theories. (In the same way that language was neither discovered nor invented, but individual languages were invented).

You mean Munchies[^]? :confused:

Neither, it developed or evolved, how ever you want to call it. It is in us, starting from basic stuff like hey i eat 1 of my 2 banananas so i got only 1 left. That's math. Some genuises then combined equations and that did the magic to create formulas and theories :)

A lot of it is just made up, like math that "proves" black holes exist. Black Holes exist only in the minds of mathematicians. Even Steven Hawkings is beginning to see the truth.

There is, I am it.

That means that I am not a mathematician. No black holes exist in my mind; or, if they do, I haven't seen them (should I try using a mirror?).

Super Lloyd

you are confused! black hole is physics! math is just a tool about numbers and logic (certainly anything real) used by many people, including physicists....
