Or you can say they exist but in a different way to physical reality.
I mean pi probably still was 3.14159... before humans evolved so it's not our fault really.
Personally I think maths not only exists but physical reality is a subset. I mean why else is there something rather than nothing? Scientifically it's the only hypothesis that works for that really.
