was thinking discovered or created? math is just the act of manipulating a quantity. what we created is a numeric system to efficiently represent quantities, and symbols to represent the ways to alter a quantity. one could say math was discovered when it was first used by a conscious creature upon the earth, another could call the aforementioned one a retard for thinking so, and i'd say they're both right
