Mathematical concepts were discovered, Mathematical notation was invented.

>>9066765
what if neither the terms invention or discovered are accurate/sufficient descriptions. lets analyze this in the analytical tradition

>>9066774
how can you say discovered when nothing is mind-independent?

>>9066785
discoveries of the mind

>>9066790
>>9066785
>>9066781
>>9066774
>>9066765
axioms are invention, their logical consequences are discovery

I'm not smart enough to discuss that, so I'm just gonna let this guy >>9066790 argue for me.

>>9066790
Good luck.

>>9066790
but even those are theory-laden. objectivity is impossible.

>>9066797
Hah

>>9066795
This

I realized that math was made up bullshit when I learned about negative numbers

>>9066774
only true answer

>>9066799
You can prove mathematical equations in reality

>>9066826
Because debt and deficit totally aren't real things, right?

>>9066873
>economics is science
Heh meme

Is math an emergent feature of (the nature of)nature?

Thats what it is right? Makes sense?

Dafuq?

If we invented it we could've set pi=700 and circles would all be fucking huge.

>>9066937
t. never read an actual econ paper

>>9067101
Hahaha
>>9067105
Correct

>>9066774
this picture has always really fucked with me, more than any uncanny valley shit ive seen. Something about it is just inherently wrong

>>9066765
Both.
Algebra was invented, and from it Calculus was discovered.

>>9067001
she knows

It's an invention you fucking brainlets

It's based on axioms

Neither. Math is a delusion of the mostly autistic human race. It was neither invented or discovered because it's not real. 0=infinity

>>9066765
A bit of both.
You discover an observation, you then invent the method to measure it.
>Pic is the man who beat Newton and Leibniz to it.

>>9068405
didn't.

>>9068557
He did.

>>9068561
Prove it.

>>9066765
language

>>9066765
It is both at the same time.

>>9066795
Axioms are motivated by the discoveries.
