Analyzing math

Greetings from online math forum,

If life hands you a lemon, build a high-pressure explosive gas
powered lemon gun and blast it to oblivion'. :^D

In other words, when given an assignment like this, I've often had
success analyzing the assignment itself, rather than just submitting
to the tyranny of educational orthodoxy. examples on free math; But I realize that this
approach isn't for everyone.

It's what you normally think of as 'arithmetic', but it's just one
possible _kind_ of arithmetic.

What distinction, if any, is there between 'invented', and 'discovered' with regard to mathematics?

I honestly don't know if there _is_ a distinction... or, more to the
point, I don't know that you could ever prove that one exists. You
can't really even begin looking for the distinction until you answer
the prior question of what constitutes mathematics. more explanation on free math tutor.
