"Does mathematics exist independently of the human mind? The Platonic view holds that it does, that it is a body of concepts existing in an external reality. This implies that math is gradually discovered and mapped out, much as an unknown country might be. The opposing view is that math is internal, created by humans as the product of our minds and the way they function, so that we would describe mathematical innovations as inventions."

Do all other forms of science rest on the principles of mathematics?

From our human experience, what does?
