> Math postulates a bunch of axioms and then studies what follows from them.

That's how math is communicated eventually but not necessarily how it's made (which is about exploration and discovery as well).

The 'postulating' a bunch of axioms is how Math is taught.. Eventually you go on to prove those axioms in higher math. Whether there are more fundamental axioms is always a bit of a question.
