Is math a social construct?
What is function(x)? It's a social construct. How come it's not called carpet/lamp/+&k? How come it's called Algebra and not Calculatro? Numbers are based off the Arabic alphabet which is man made language for social interaction, it's a social construct. Math is a field of study from academia and academia and university are social constructs because they're man made social institutions. The teachings are printed on books which are a social construct founded by social desire to communicate ideas. Therefore our concept of math is also a social construct.

Is this post bait or just mental retardation?
The question you want to ask is this: does math exist independent of the human mind? If there was nobody around, would math still exist?

Ordered pairs are a social construct

Maybe your concept of idiocy is a social construct.

You are not qualified to talk about math in any capacity other than the fact that you know nothing about mathematics and that you are just humoring yourself and others with your ignorance.

Guys, gravity is a social construct, it's 2016 we must evolve as a society, we have to progress and get past archaic bigoted concepts such as gravity or mass.
If you don't like social constructs, go live in a cave and never speak to anyone again

Math is a social construct.
No black societies ever created a branch of mathematics.
Therefore, black societies cannot do any maths, as they have not socially constructed any maths.
Hence, blacks cannot do math.

They would try and make math racist, but fortunately they don't understand it enough to be able to do it.

I'm pretty sure niggers did develop some form of primitive mathematics if only for counting and trading goats.
