Certain aspects of math seem to exist just outright with no regard for anything around it, you can then generate certain systems of that math to model external ideas, but inherently math doesn't exist because of that it just exists and that occurs because math exists in a seemingly metaphysical sense.
I'll call these aspect the divine elements granted to us. Now upon inspection of these divine elements we can intentionally come with idea of math which exist in that former sense I mentioned. Which comes to the inherent human idea of "invent" vs "discover" being the real point of question.
if there exist blocks of only one type did I discover or invent the block house I made from it? now if I were to arrange them in a pattern which was unique and again so that two were unique and so on... did I invent that uniqueness? the capacity exist, so it exist in some kind of sense just not in the sense I'm familiar with at all, so as an experiential being what did it mean at all? I would figure if god made such a thing as the mountains I would discover them and they would be beautiful, but if I were to build a mound of poo I would have created it myself and thus invented it in my human understanding in this distinction. It's all dependent on the definition of it all.
Some of math is given to us and the rest is reasoned, that is how I would say it. No. Actually I would say it like this: God give us the divine elements and we divine extended knowledge from them.
Sticks and stone exist, but a spear is made by man with reason.
