>The functions themselves are not exclusive but the presentation is less than inclusive
But very little of the presentation of Mathematics is western-centric. Occasionally, some historical context might be added by the prof saying something like "Newton and Libiniz both derived calculus around the same time", but if any significant portion of the class is devoted to the historical context of the maths, its a shit class.
>The mere arrangement of two coverging lines for example can be the difference between a religious icon or a secular statement of no progress or a substitution in value
True, but anyone who cannot detatch their outside life from representation in mathematics may not really be a good mathematician. Any devout christian, for example, should still be able to work on a Cartesian plane even through culturally he could see a cross as being a religious icon.If he was truly discouraged from pursuing a career in maths because one of the shapes looked like something culturally significant, I don't think he would be cut out for maths, seeing as much of it requires at least partial abstraction.

You're sliding with irrelevant information. You haven't addressed the fact that you literally tried to pretend that "same" and "equal" are different in order to discredit me.
