Mathematics are Real

[L]et’s put it this way. The trigonomic ratio exists regardless of whether you believe it does or not. So does Pi, and so does a curve, and so does the division which finds the limit of geometric series. Saying “It exists in our mind” is teleological. They exist apart from us, number is just the language we use to understand it. Just like anything else, English and Spanish are two different languages, but they only can work off of shared experience and reality.
