Math is the result of our discovery of nature.
Mathematics, in my opinion, is invented by humans as a tool to understand the great mystery that is our world.
First and foremost, like English or Spanish, we came up with Math as a language through which we can communicate with one another about the nature of things. At the beginning of days, there was sure no language except some sounds our ancestors uttered to signal simple objects and concepts, like foods, trees, or hungry. Gradually, humans evolved, and we needed more complex sounds to indicate the growing numbers of things we faced as we explored the world. And little by little, languages are formed. Math, though seems irrelevant, is created in the same nature. Knowing how to add one apple we just pluck to the one we already have back in the hut is simply not enough for us to navigate in the advanced world we would eventually build. Basically, humans developed, and to facilitate that growth, we created tools, one of which is math.
Some might contend that math describes the patterns of our already existent world, so like the lands and seas we discovered, math is the precious treasure chest we found and not created. It is obvious that we did not invent how nature works, how things behave in sets of fixed rules. We do, however, observe and put names to repeated phenomena. We formulate concepts and principles; we develop theories; we create for ourselves the language called math. Simply put, we learn how the world we live in operates, and to preserve the knowledge we gain for the next generations, we store them in math.
Math is the result of our discovery of nature, not the discovery itself.

Mathematics, in my opinion, iwas invented by humans as a tool to understand the great mystery that is our world.
First and foremost, like English or Spanish, we came up with Mmath as a language through which we can communicate with one another about the nature of things.
At the beginning of dayshumanity's time, there was sure no language except for some sounds our ancestors uttered to signalrefer to simple objects and concepts, like foods, trees, or hungery.
I might also write: "At the beginning of humanity's time, there was no language. Our ancestors only used a few sounds to refer to simple objects and concepts like foods, trees, or hunger."
Gradually, humans evolved, and we needed more complex sounds to indicate the growing numbers of things we faced as we explored the world.
I think "describe" is slightly better than "indicate," but both work. Also, "encountered" might match better with "explored" than "faced" does.
And little by little, languages awere formed.

It is obvious that we did not invent how nature works, how things behave in sets of fixed rules.
The sentence works, but I think this way sounds better:
"We did not invent nature or determine the fixed rules by which it behaves."
We do, however, observe and put names toname repeated phenomena.
We formulate concepts and principles; we develop theories; we create for ourselves the language called math.
Personally I think this works better with commas:
"We formulate concepts and principles, develop theories, and create for ourselves the language called math."
Simply put, we learn how the world we live in operates, and to preserve the knowledge we gain for the next generations, we store ithem in math.
Math is the result of our discovery of nature, not the discovery itself.

Good job! Your post was very well written. I think two things you could work on are simplifying overly complex sentences and making sure your verb tenses are consistent.
