Was pi invented or discovered?

[Angrboda]

I'm unfamiliar with philosophy of mathematics, and also the current set theoretical underpinnings of mathematics, but it's not clear that we're even talking about things at the right level.

apophenia, dear... maths is something that some people get and others just don't. I saw many of my fellow classmates fall away and quit the highest level of maths in highschool. Are you sure you even know what you're saying?

I was distinctly saying that there were bounds to my ability to speculate deeply about the matter. I understand you're making a joke, but I'm not altogether sure of what is being said. I was a terrible math student, and had to abandon mathematics in college when I abandoned my college career due to depression, so there are certainly valid qualifications to be made. (I certainly didn't get as far as I would have liked, and as noted, missed important areas. I more or less fell away from my college career about the time that I was struggling with abstract algebra and differential equations, so the bulk of my knowledge comes from the practical side having to do with the calculus. So no, I don't have any real experience with the more theoretical disciplines of mathematics such as set theory and number theory and such.)

(And I'm told by younguns that nowadays maths are taught at a higher level in high school than they were in the Cretaceous period, so things have changed.)
