It is until you start taking the roots of negative numbers.

Math is not real and autists tend to forget their shitty models barely describe reality, what actually goes on will never be known.

this is like asking is "the description of an apple" real?
instead you should be asking: "is the apple real?"

in this case; given all the information we have it seems likely it is real.
but we aren't sure.

Yes. Mathematics is just an array of numbers and arrays of numbers are real.

Mathematics is real, obviously, but that doesn't mean

And furthermore the reason for the great developments of mathematics in ancient Greece are in many ways of a religious and spiritual nature, as well as obviously there still being great practical curiosity or necessity such as architecture, building, or determining the size of the Earth.

Fug, meant to say that doesn't mean it is independent from us, but obviously what it is measuring is real unless you want to be a solipsist.
