That is an exceedingly misleading title. The point of the story is not that mathematics is not universal, but that personality and culture greatly affects the way it's approached and developed.


That's fair enough - was not intending to mislead and hopefully the amended title is more reflective of the piece.


The revised title is equally misleading. Problem solving is so universal one could argue it is the defining human trait. Our approach to problem solving on the other hand is heavily influenced by culture and personality.


Now you're just being pedantic.
