What does this have to do with the claim that math is discovered?
>>
actually since only our self exists math is always invented but only by the people studying it

Incorrect.
Math is our look at a perfect, eternal universe described by Plato.
Math is the reflection of that universe onto our own, the axioms by which that perfection can occur.
Physics is the error in our universe's copy of that perfection, and as such physics is "why we live in dogshit chaos"
Math might be invented in the sense that it doesn't exist in our universe, but it is discovered in the sense that we can see math through our universe's poor attempts to model the math in another perfect universe (in which it could be discovered literally, not just philosophically.)

Hey anon can I ask you something

How much math studying does it take to just open any random wikipedia article on math and understand the general idea of what they're talking about...?

In case of this particular page, a grad in pure math. But there are some for which you'd better be a PhD.

This. Platonism is the best position

Its not really math that you have to understand its more about being able to look at and understand an abstraction.

Why can't you read? OP is arguing that mathematics *aren't* invented. That's why he used greentext to make it clear it was meant to be read as someone else speaking and had the text cut off with a hyphen to give the impression of that person stopping mid-sentence when they realize the monstrous moonshine concept OP posted about disproves their idea about mathematics being invented.

Math is simply an abstraction to explain certain properties and patterns. That's all.

In a way it was discovered, as primitive screwfucks in middle of nowhere ancient days noticed these patterns and then developed an abstraction for them to use for their benefit, such as predicting where the yearly floods of the nile would occur and move their houses away from it.

i see u lootin

>>9141640
sounds gay
>>
only the notation and symbols are invented, the math that they represent has always been there
>>
>>9141640
ideas in math are represented in human minds and on papers that humans write etc

human minds and papers exist in the universe
therefore mathematics exist in the universe
youre full of shit

Thoughts of perfection are a reflection of the eternal, perfect world.
If you stand in front of a mirror, does the (You) on the other side exist?
No, it doesn't. And neither does math. Not here, but we can consider it and try to work it out.
If math existed, we could observe and study it without pure deductive reasoning. That's why math is so much more difficult, and requires such smarter people, than physics.
