Would aliens really understand our mathematics?

Asked by Amberlicious (35points) September 28th, 2010

My friend Chris and I had this debate the other day. He seems to think that somehow they would have the same way of expressing mathematics such as pi. I disagree, I believe they would most likely have an entirely different way to interpret math that would work on their particular planet, but not ours and vice versa. What are your thoughts? Link below to what started the debate.
