Was mathematics invented or discovered ?
Aren't they both the same thing? Isnt the first step of finding out something, both inventing & discovering hten doing that over and over till you get results. I remember vaguely a history channel program where I think the Mesopotamians had the edge on europaens because they used all their knuckles for counting plus the spaces in between the fingers so they had more options.
I'll bet somebody discovered they needed math so they invented it.
