Comment Is mathematics invented or discovered? (Score 5, Interesting) 189

In other words, is mathematics a fundamental part of the fabric of reality (i.e. Platonism)? And are concepts like zero, infinity, imaginary numbers, and so on, actually real objects? Or do you think mathematics is mostly a tool created by humans out of convenience (akin to language), and numbers and other concepts are just abstract ideas in our brains?
