Is Mathematics Discovered Or Invented?
Found on Slashdot on Friday, 25 April 2008
A question that, remarkably, is still being debated after a few thousand years: is mathematics discovered, or is it invented? Those who answer "discovered" are the intellectual descendants of Plato.
The European Mathematical Society recently devoted space to the debate.
I think for those still in school, there's no discovery or invention behind it; just weird magic.
