Is mathematics discovered or invented?

Personally i believe its both, one cannot exist without the other, both need to coexist to exist individually. Math is an invention due to the fact that it's symbols, formulaes, and perfect ideals that do not need to exist in our physical space came out from human minds for people to interpret the math. A person can invent a lie and through inventing that lie that person has discovered its existence. The same rule applies to math. Math in theory exists in nature, it can be applied to simply counting the rings inside of a tree trunk to figure out its age, to figureing out the formulae that shapes the reasoning behind gravity or electricity. A concept can exist even though noone has thought of it ...it is also equally invented as it is discovered once it is invented. Just as words are sounds given to the life around us for us to understand it math stands under the same principle. right? yeahhh its ok, today is a lovely day its a bit chilly and wonderful, but aaaaaahh theres a field trip and weve got 3 weeks left !!!! *insert f bomb here~!*
