We invented axioms to discover math.
Math is a method of communication
math was invented to describe physical systems. It does not exist outside of computers and brains at all. If you glassed our planet there would be no maths at all. Just objective reality which wouldn't mean anything to us at all. Don't think about it too much. Maths are extremely useful and should be developed further regardless if they're basically just tools
the theorems were there all along waiting for us to discover them, once we had decided which axioms to use.
And similarly the axioms were there all along , waiting for us to choose them.
The set of possible sets of axioms has always been there. By choosing a set of axioms we are in effect merely discovering them.
Nice stealing this question fron the ylyl thread on /b/ you fucktard.
Where is there?
thanks faggot. like i care about your opinion
Invented. The "Unreasonable Effectiveness" is a spook of theory-laden observation. Axiomatic deduction is often mere hindsight to confirm proof, rarely logical string-pulling.
Math comes from your brain.
Was your brain discovered or invented.
