You have a tree, an apple falls from the tree, that means there's one apple beneath the tree. Another apple falls, now there are two apples beneath the tree.
Mathematics is simply assigning language to this and other concepts. To say that it wouldn't exist without them is like saying a river wouldn't exist if we didn't exist to call it a river.

There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old�s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.
