I would say the SOLUTIONS to math problems are objective, but I wouldn't necessarily say that the field of mathematics is.

Math is certainly abstract.

What are you trying to say here? Are you saying that math is uninfluenced by personal bias, or that math exists outside of the mind.

But what do I know, LOL

I think it's great that you like math. A lot of cool stuff can be done with it.

I agree with this, problems have one or more answers, or no answer, and those answer(s)/lack of an answer is constant or objective. Some of the time there are multiple ways to get there though. When I can see multiple possible methods for reaching the solution, I tend to pick the method I'm most familiar with. But other people pick other methods for the same problem because they're more familiar with them, so what method works best for you is subjective maybe, I'm pretty sure if you want to say one method is better than the other, you could make that argument by saying it takes fewer steps to get to the same solution, therefore its more efficient. But then there are some methods that have the same amount of steps/complexity, and between those whichever one you pick is definitely subjective.
