Sorry. What's a "number"? Are "numbers" invented or discovered?Agent Smith wrote: ↑Mon Feb 27, 2023 9:15 am Math must be unique; why else the question?
There are n number of reasons why something is unique and the catch is not all of 'em beg the question invented/discovered?
Why is it that some cultures "discovered" the "number" 0 and others didn't?
Why is it that we didn't "discover" the imaginary numbers right until Euler defined i to be √-1?
Why was √-1 undefined before Euler?
It seems to me there's very little difference between the definition and the invention of "numbers".
