Resources for EPQ on Maths

I'm writing an EPQ on whether maths was invented or discovered, but I'm having trouble finding relative books/articles on the topic.. does anyone have any good resources they know of? Thanks everyone :smile:

No worries! I think that book is quite advanced as it is aimed at undergraduates and is mostly mathematical. I have extracted a few pages from a reference book that might help you with your project. There are also references to the books for further reading mentioned at the end.
