Would a different universe have different maths?

What d'ya mean by “different” and by “maths”? Sure they would use different notation but it'd denote mathematical structures isomorphic to our own.

I was trying to follow through 395's premise. If maths is implied by the universe, then other universes would imply other maths, n'est ce pas.
