Is Mathematics Discovered or Invented
I read an interesting article on Daily Galaxy about the nature of Math. Does Math exist without our interpretation. This seems like one of those Quantum Observer phenomena. I also read an article in the Telegraph about how babies seem to inherently know some Math. Do they “invent” Math in the womb or in there early months? Is there some basic notions passed down through genetics? This second question is not science fiction. Instinct could be considered knowledge that is passed down genetically. So is there some evolutionary benefit to incredibly fast learning of mathematical principles? Is there some benefit to “instinctively” knowing some of these principles? I think that the actual answer to these questions will shed more insight on how we are put together.
