I am curious about the origins of the components of map, did someone just wake up one day and was like “hmmmmm I should create math”. In my years of taking math courses I never actually asked myself the question “Is math real? ” . Now that I think about it I ask myself who even invented all of these formulas and specific ways to solve all of these equations, etc. like at the end of all , ‘ Are we even solving these correct’. If anything we can just make up something and state that this is the actual way to solve it and no one can say either yes or no, just how the inventor of mathematics did. While watching these three videos something that changed my mind about how I think is when Gracie started asking all the questions like ” where does math come from” because no one has actually gone into detail to figure out where we even got mathematics from.
