10. Is knowledge in mathematics and other Areas of Knowledge dependent on culture to the same degree and in the same ways?

At first sight, the answer to this question may seem obvious: a casual reader might glance at it and give it a confident "no". Even though this is the position that I take, I do believe that there are many more things to consider when attempting to answer this question.
