Is mathematics invented or discovered ? 
Mathematics is a language. And like all other languages the goal is to develop fluency in it, through massive experience. Just like with English, a very good English speaker will speak English in the best way possible intuitively not through reasoning or consciousness of all the grammar rules. A good mathematician solves mathematical problems intuitively because he has internalized its rules and know how to use them. Now to the issue of mathematics being invented or discovered, the answer is mathematics is invented. This isn't a mathematical problem but a philosophical one. Because reality is imagination, all language are artificial dissections of the same unity which can be very useful for manipulating reality,  however it shouldn't be confused for reality itself. Which is an infinite unity otherwise called God. Which is indivisible oneness. Now since reality is imagination, hence truth is imagination. Therefore mathematics is true as imagination because there's nothing but imagination. In this sense mathematics is discovered but in a deeper sense, mathematics is invented.

I am but a reflection... a mirror... of you... of me... in a cosmic dance of separative... unity...
