I say it is a philosophy, because all numbers are approximations.
I read, in my Math book, that mathematics is a philosophy.

Numbers, do not exist in real life, they are an invention of man’s mind, just like a square does not exist, or a triangle, or a circle. They are concepts. They are very useful. But math, is a philosophy and far more exact than science, which is unusual for a philosophy.
