Original sentence: Debate about what is true science, between individuals and among cultures, often depends strongly on whether or not a method of obtaining knowledge this way sufficiently and correctly uses mathematics to minimise ambiguity in describing these steps.The mathematics required for a knowledge-seeking method to be considered a science (in the stricter interpretation) is not necessarily numerical, nor does it require explicit use of algebraic equations: implicit use of set theory or graph theory and the simple, correct use of statistics can be enough.The terms hard science and soft science can also help to describe the degree of mathematics usage in different areas of knowledge-seeking - the more a science uses mathematics, the more it is hard (however, pseudo-sciences often also use mathematics, but make incorrect use of statistics and insufficiently apply the above steps).To avoid ambiguity in cultures with a wider interpretation of science or scientific method, the literal translation of the term empirical science is generally sufficient to signify what in English is usually meant by the single word science
Edited sentence: To avoid ambiguity in cultures following the latter tradition, the literal translation of the term empirical science is generally sufficient to signify what in English is usually meant by the single word science
