But surely Maths is just equations which explain the relationships between quantities and distances and areas and volumes.Almost all known fields hinge on some vitally arbitrary measure, whether that be numbers or letters or words, both maths and physics could no doubt be rethought it completely different ways with nothing which even resembles numbers. But it would still be the same expression just using different measures.

Yes, that sounds about right.You seem to be agreeing with me now that numbers are useful, but made-up things.

Yes, but I'm in the camp that all known language, science and knowledge is an adequate representation of how we experience things.But nonetheless is all made up. I don't think it's just numbers.
