Math invented or discovered

Math was defininetly invented because math just like the alphabet is a series of symbols we call numbers that interact with certain laws that follow logic. Cuantities are found in nature but mathematical symbols will never be found, only patterns of numbers which like i said in the end are symbols invented by us to represent the relationships between cuantities in nature. Laws like physics all have to do with nature but they are physical laws, they are not found in numbers, they are expressed in them.

b.  What do you understandd by George Orwell's observation, 'Who controls the past controls the future, who controls the present controls the past'?  To what extent do you think it is true?


This observation states what has and probably will continue to happen with the power upon history of people in power. When you can change or manipulate the history of a country can control the future because of its history controlling what will be done or happen with a country's actions after history, for example when a country has had a civil war its actions will be to try and create peace. however if you change the past and omit the war and make the country believe that its situation has always been of misery they will rise up into a war or violence. However, how do you manage to change the past to change the future? You control the present. If you are in power you control the written or recorded history and by being in power you can surely control what is written in those books or records in general, hereby a person can change the past by controlling the present.
This observation is very true since up until the present day that has been the case with history. The winners are the ones who write history most of the time and they will write it from their point of view sometimes even "bending" the truth which will change the event.
