Just as the title says...

Do you think math is invented or discovered?

Please don't rage or flame, I personally think math was invented and I want to know what other people think.

Just reply with what you think! Happy Holidays!

It can actually go both ways, people came up with math to make solving problems easier, but at the same time, someone or something taught us it.

I think invented because numbers can't randomly just add and make new number in a specific way. Somebody had to tell which went where and stuff.

Math always existed, just somebody discovered a way to actual say it and write it.

Neither it was developed.

Math that was discovered is the basic way to add, subtract, multiply and divide. Then we invented short cuts to make longer math easier.
