> To me, I look at math as a collaborative language of precision in dealing with units. Although this might apply for early number theory, how does it fit with more abstract mathematics that doesn't deal with numbers, let alone units, at all? However, I completely agree math (as in the human practice) is a collaborative and inventive process. The directions in which it progresses is often determined by what mathematicians consider "interesting", and not some purely analytical and sterile reasoning.
