Is mathematics discovered, developed, or both?
#10
RE: Is mathematics discovered, developed, or both?
the concept of mathematics is a human invention, but the relations we can see in nature are things we can discover. nature has not just one mathematical property, it has only mathematical properties. so even though we created the concept of mathematics and use a human language to describe the patterns we see, we can still find more and more patterns in nature that follow the same principles.
