Was math discovered or invented ?

@SW-User There is constructivism and intuitionism.

@helenS boggles my mind that Gödel was a Platonist considering his best known achievements.

@SW-User Personally I am deeply convinced that π exists, even though we will never know its value.

@SW-User ... and here's my old π post:

@helenS This thread. I remember how I debated my points on here. lol

@JustGoneNow As a reply to my π day post? Really?

@helenS No. I mean this post when it was first asked. I still believe that although certain values such as the circumference of a circle were discovered, the system with which we manipulate said values, was most definitely invented. You can only discover what already exists. There was no math before math. Even the base 10 Hindu–Arabic numeral system we use is invented. The ancient Babylonians used a base 60 system for their Math. You still see remnants of it in things and is why we have 60 seconds in a minute and 60 minutes in an hour.

@JustGoneNow Aaahhh yes!! I remember! thank you 🌷

@helenS Of course π exists, discoverable as a natural consequence of trying to find a "natural" unit of angular measure.
