teh-lulz wrote What is with all these people saying a single person created math? it's not like someone just woke up one day and went "herp I created math!!!111", the base ideas of math would have always existed, for example cavemen knowing that 1 deer carcass + 2 deer carcass' = 3 deer carcass', but the formulas and rules that make math are always being created and updated.it crosses the line when you add symbols to make it easier, then it is a invention added to a discovery.
Anyway math is hard to define, is simply knowing by common sense that if you have 2 apples and eat one you have one left maths? where does it cross the line from common sense into mathematics?

TTg_cntbanusall wroteI mean the symbols were created to make their discovery easier, like a airplane wing is invented to make flying easier. Well not a good example. Everything in life sense the beginning of time has had some sort of math involved in it or can be explained with math, well almost everything, science(math) can't solve some of the easiest problems!

i think that math would be DEVELOPED cuz we didnt look for it nor did we make it cuz it already exists.. we are just constantly developiing new ways to understand it better
