| Sep 3, 2014 at 6:28 | comment | added | Mauro ALLEGRANZA | Your question is a good one : the problem of existence of mathematical objects is the key problem in Philosophy of Mathematics since Plato and Aristotle. But for "us" mathematicians, the numbers exists in some sense of the word, not yet well understood; thus, it make sense to speak of them. | |
