Something we created. If you think about it, yes some things are mathematic, but only when you look at them through that lens. We shouldn't limit ourselves like that, because it shuts out beauty and art and things like that.

It's pretty much like science, there since the beginning, but we found ways to express it to others.

Math is a way to look at the world. In my belief, God created the world, but math is what we use to describe and make sense of it.

The ways we express it are invented but the underlying priciples are universal. Now some of the definitions are inspired by life but certainly not most of them. But everything that follows from any set of definitions is universal - infact, it couldn't be any different in any other universe either.

I'd say math is invented. Because often, advanced mathematical equations produce answers that don't exactly line up with reality. Look up, "TED-ED don't divide by zero" on YouTube, and you'll see what I mean.

I think that its something that we discovered, then we created different aspects of it
