Um... ok. Well, your point is valid, but that's not really the question she was asking. It goes to math, like music, being a pure concept; an imagination. As thus, it is not real, but just something we daydreamed up, to describe the physicality of things. Now, heres where the assumptions come into play. We assume that math 'exists', because we get the right answers about the Universe, with it and we have all our math-based technology. But, thats only an assumption, that the answers are correct, because we have no one else's system to compare. Really wrap your head around using math to make computers, to do more math that you could never do in a lifetime worth of lifetimes. But, what if at its core, its just a cloudgazing fantasy and has actually been holding humanity back from the Universe? I mean, we used to think the stars, were backlit holes in a physical veil over the world. We still had the same brain structure and mental capacity then, so whether math is real or imaginary, it was already there. And here we are, still making up stories about the Universe and things we can never actually examine and using the language of math to tell them.
As for history, not its not real, either. It is creative deduction(kinda like that other thing). If an artifact is not in possession, ie if you cant measure it, then the thing never existed/happened. Conversely, think about the amount of evidence you produce that proves your existence. Now imagine out of all that, for all the people you've ever come into contact with, one of their boss' notebook is found in 500 years. The story that notebook tells about you is 'history'. Archaeology is fun, but it requires a special kind of arrogance to take it seriously.

History has more than a resolution issue. History is not 'what happened', its the story and importance of what happened. Those concepts do not exist independently of a Human mind to perceive them. Music is only music because something in the fundamental structure of the Human brain, is moved by particular number sequences. Which brings us to the connection between math and music. Music is math. Its a continuos, running equation of fractions, ratios and waves, solved in realtime to access the computational centers of other people's brains. And like music, while the fundamental rules can be trained by just about anyone, the intuitive grasp of music and math, is art.
We don't really make predictions with math, we confirm/explain observations. Because we use the same method over and over to explain those observations and get a 'prddictable' result, we just assume its 'correct'. The critical point being we don't really know if math is right about anything that cannot be perceived by the physical senses. Thus, the concept of 'mathematics' and its significance, could very possibly be unique to and only useful to lifeforms with Humanoid senses. In other words, its all we know, so its all there is.
