is math discovered or invented?

Maybe both. One starts out defining things (to see if they are interesting or whatever), but after that you follow the consequences and that's more like discovering.
You got it! :-D :-\

Discovered. All was put here by the One True Living God.
I wonder who discovered hatred?

All human endeavours (language, culture, maths, science) are abstractions and therefore the level of abstraction constitutes invention. Only reality is real.....man. :omg:

Mathematics must include all of its branches and that would include arithmetic. So say, multiple objects existed and were observed. That, however, doesn't make mathematics a discovery. It is the association of multiple objects as a group, and making that initial "one and one are different than one" ( . . . and we'll so note it . . . ) that is where mathematics begins. This is conceptual - and thus - an invention. Two rocks sitting near one another does not have to be thought of as two rocks. Why not simply "A rock" and "A rock" ? That still works. At the same time, they may not be near - but one could still conceive of them as two items that are in some (conceived!) category and then associated. Our mathematics is a description of observations - and not necessarily the only way one could describe the universe.
