What happen if mathematics does not exist?

Mathematics is the bedrock of civilisation and the language of science. Without it, we couldn’t measure anything, make anything or build anything. There would be no money, houses or roads. No hospitals or food production, no internet, no defence.

Does mathematics exist before humans prove your stand?

2) Math is a human construct. The only reason mathematics is admirably suited describing the physical world is that we invented it to do just that. It is a product of the human mind and we make mathematics up as we go along to suit our purposes.

Do numbers really exist or are they something man has created?

Certainly numbers do not have a tangible existence in the world. They exist in our collective consciousness. And yet they are not arbitrary products of our imaginations in the way that fictional characters are.

Is math really that important?

Math is incredibly important in our lives and, without realizing it, we use mathematical concepts, as well as the skills we learn from doing math problems, every day. The laws of mathematics govern everything around us, and without a good understanding of them, one can encounter significant problems in life.

What would the world be like without mathematics?

When asked to consider a world without mathematics, no matter who you are, it would require you to give up most of the things in your life that you hold dear. So the next time you handle money, watch the TV or drive in a car, stop to appreciate numbers, maths and what they’ve given you lately.

Will mathematics continue to exist if humans cease to exist?

No. That idea of Mathematics would not continue to exist should humans cease to. If, however, you mean the underlying universal principles we express through the number systems mentioned above, then YEAH . Just because there may not be an observer does not mean the laws of nature fail to apply.

Do numbers really exist?

Others argue that while numbers may or may not exist physically, mathematical statements definitely don’t. Their truth values are based on rules that humans created.

Why is mathematics considered an invented language?

Their truth values are based on rules that humans created. Mathematics is thus an invented logic exercise, with no existence outside mankind’s conscious thought, a language of abstract relationships based on patterns discerned by brains, built to use those patterns to invent useful but artificial order from chaos.
