If mathematics is just a useful tool we made up, then how can it describe the world with perfect accuracy? And how come as soon as you remove mathematics and mathematical equations from physics, physicists can no longer objectively explain or predict anything?

There’s debate over whether math was invented or discovered.
It may be that we discovered a process by which the world works and assigned symbols to it.
Imaginary numbers and quaternions (sp?) lead me to believe that it was discovered.
