Mathematics: Invented or Discovered? When Newton saw an apple drop from an apple tree he had an epiphany. That epiphany was the concept of gravity. Even though no one before Newton had ever thought of gravity, it had always existed and had always made apples drop from trees. Newton "disco...
A classic riddleasks whether math was discovered or invented. Is math out there in the fabricof nature? Or is it a tool we created for the sake of examining nature? Ismathematics the atom or the microscope? 一个经典的谜语问数学是被发现还是发明的。数学存在于自然界的结构中吗?还是我们为了审...

Is itinvented, or discovered? And are the things that mathematicians work with—numbers, algebraic equations, geometry, theorems and so on—real? Some scholars feel very strongly that mathematical truths are “out there,” waiting to be discovered—a position known asPlatonism. It takes its name...
“Mathematicians judge whether a construct is ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ by a different standard than scientists (usually).” Very much so! My point exactly. XD “I think if mathematics is discovered rather than invented […], then it’s inherently grounded in something outside of humanity.” ...
Are they discovered or invented/created by humans? Q: Do we have free will? Q: How did mathematicians calculate trig functions and numbers like pi before calculators? Q: How can planes fly upside-down? Q: A flurry of blackhole questions! Q: Why does going fast or being lower make time...
63、feels like math is discovered rather than invented.数学是需要去发现 而不是发明的But is that just a feeling?但那仅仅是一种感觉而已吗Could it be that mathematics数学有没有可能is purely a product of the human brain?完全是人类大脑的产物呢Meet Shyam, a bonafide math whiz.来见见Shyam 一个...

AI has not taken advantage of the power of post-Modern Math invented since WW II, esp. IT related, ie : Category Theory (Functional Programming), Algebraic Topology : Homology (Big Data Analytics) Homotopy Type Theory ‘HoTT’ (Machine Proof Math Theorems) . That is the argument of the Ha...
