Any mathematics is based on axioms, assumptions which cannot be proven, but are necessary to begin mathematics.
For example, are all right angles equal to one another? Is the difference between 1 and 2, equal to the difference between 99 and 100? etc.
Once we have invented our axioms, then we discover the rules which arise within that frame work.
Thus, mathematics discoveries which arise from inventions.
Or simply, an invention AND a discovery
