  • Is math discovered or invented?



    The arguments in comment sections are quite interesting.

    Maths as we know it only exists with language. But it is true that circumference = 2 pi r anyway.

    Interesting concept.

      Hmmm... I'm a bit too tipsy right now but I will watch this later.

      But for now, I think math could be universal. Good find led

        l can't see the vid because l'm on a phone but it was the prominent German mathematician Leopold Keonecker who said,

        "God made the integers, all the rest is the work of man".

          We wouldn't be able to have mathematics without a form of language. Without communicating our thoughts on what we observed then math may of never came to be.

          I think of it as the ancient era scientists observed, although math is known as concepts from "adding" to "calculus" those terms were all made through language. We would to look at the etymology of mathematics, likely going back to when humans were first conscious of the use of logic and reasoning.
