Whoever invented math, did so to torment me and bring down my grade point average. Course, my algebra teacher never taught us anything. He just wrote problems on the board. My brother had trouble with his class too, so that shows you he didn't teach us anything. He would go thru a problem by rote and not teach us how or why he did it.

I thought it would be obvious if you consider all the ways math is used in every language and culture. Many beings, other than humans, use math and some are brilliant in their application. Theologians would credit God as I do. When I was a child and was told that the number of variations of snow flakes was infinite. I doubted this and proof came in at 32 basic structural forms from which all forms of snow built upon that model. Recognizing variations showed up as additional variations in heavy water etc, etc, etc. Math is a bit too brutal where technical variations exceeds the known facts. That was a nice place in my life where I found "God did it" as a more useful answer.
