You see a problem, and needed a formula to prove its existence.

It is not possible to say all Maths are discovered or invented completely. Maths that human beings have acquired now in different areas are not mere discoveries or inventions. Great Math is result of both great discoveries and inventions.

Another example is the wheel ... who invented it? I would say no one and everyone. It evolved to become a tool for civilization at different point of time.

Another example is "zero". Indian claims to have invented it, it may be true and it may not be true. Because no one can really prove that they have invented a concept.

But one thing is certain, Mathematics is not invented in some low IQ countries like Africa.

...which would mean it is there to be discovered.

Is mathematics invented or discovered?


Here is what ChatGPT says :


The question of whether mathematics is invented or discovered has been debated by philosophers, mathematicians, and scientists for centuries.

Those who argue that mathematics is invented believe that it is a human creation, developed over time to solve problems and meet the needs of society. According to this view, mathematics is a tool created by humans to describe and understand the world around us, rather than a fundamental feature of the universe that exists independently of human thought.

On the other hand, those who argue that mathematics is discovered believe that it is a fundamental aspect of the universe, and that mathematical truths and concepts are waiting to be uncovered and understood by humans. According to this view, mathematical concepts exist independently of human minds, and we discover them through careful observation and investigation.

In reality, the answer is likely somewhere in between. Mathematics can be seen as a human invention in the sense that we have developed mathematical concepts and techniques over time to solve problems and make sense of the world. However, it is also true that mathematical concepts have a certain universality and timelessness to them, and that they exist independently of human thought in some sense.

Ultimately, whether mathematics is invented or discovered is a matter of philosophical interpretation, and the answer may vary depending on who you ask.

It does not answer the question. The universe is defined by the laws of physics but the physics behind every phenomenon is described by mathematics. For every physical phenomenon there is an equation behind the scenes governing what exactly is going on.

ten-digit fingers on both hands definitely helped with early men trying to count how many women’s pussies they grabbed and number of offsprings produced. ten-digit toes, two lumpars, and one lingam didn’t factor in well as we only see the popular use of the decimal system throughout several civilizations from east to west. otherwise, we’ll have a 23-digit system. but the concept of zero or null or nil was introduced later, and this one was in between being discovered and invented.
