i'm on fire!

Is Mathematics discovered or invented?

R:// i think that this is a trick question, because math isnt actually a thing, its more like a tool, an instrument to describe another thing. this means that the thing it describes has obviously always been there, however the ways to describe that thing havent. it is not like we invented the right angle, we just gave it a name and a number. which means that the use of math has been discovered, but the math itself has been invented, so that we could discover how to describe an isosceles triangle, or whatever.
