Learn to spell.
Mathematics as a concept was discovered. The language of mathematics which we use to convey this concept was invented. To answer more directly, math was discovered. This is probably bait because that's so obvious, but just in case you're actually curious <3
Discovered.
You don't create the laws of the universe, you attempt to understand them.
Creation implies autonomy on decision of the subject matter. There's nothing to decide about math, at its simplest or most complex.
You're interpreting that which exists, therefore, discovering what is already there.

Discovered, numbers like e pi i, the pythagorean theorem and even integer representations of matter exist. Unless you believe that the tree doesn't make a sound if no one is there to hear it.
>>8166430
The notation is invented, the structure is discovered.

It is planted. Like a tree. Then depending how you garden it may grow in different directions.

The laws of the universe causally determine what mathematics can be formed in the first place.
>>8166430
our math was created the instance the universe was, however we just happened to have discovered it
