Math-invention or discovery?

Well I am not good at math at all and know very little about it, but I think of it as the result of the way humans can perceive life, and so devise a form of organization. Like time.

How ya doing, buddy?

Of course it is about discovery. That's what Bradylama's saying. But the actual core concept of mathematics, the system that we use for discovery, was created to understand units and measurement.

Seriously, like time. There's no scientific law that states 60 seconds must equal one minute, not something to discover; it's a system humans developed based on natural and astronomical observation that allows us to organize our lives.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
