is the process of math modeling a logic thinking?

If we imagine a line continuum between machine and man, and place Induction, Deduction & Analogy on it. Induction will probably be closer to the machine and Analogy will be closer to man, with Deduction probably in the center.

Most colleges use advanced math to "weed out" people that may not be suitable for computer science or engineering.  It's not that you will use the math abilities so much, but the ability to pass an advanced math course shows that you have an aptitude for highly structured thinking.\n\nSometimes that is not the best logic.  Creative thinkers don't like structure and prefer to think about things differently.\n\nDon't forget - Einstein flunked math in school!\n\nPossible careers in science/biotechnology\nhttp://www.labormarketinfo.edd.ca.gov/cgi/career/?PAGEID=3&SUBID=136

The real world contains minute details that can never be measured with total accuracy. But even though we can't do better than approximations, the unnatural precision in our made-up math enables us to at least better our understanding of things, as we better our approximations.\n\nI'm not sure what you mean by suggesting that math is "flawed". For one, math is not really all about numbers, it is about logic--the logic that first led us to reason that there existed transcendental numbers (also not sure what you mean by "unresolved"). I think part of the problem is that you've been led to a mistaken belief about what math purports to be. Math is not science--at least, it is certainly not a science of the natural world because a lot of real mathematics considers situations that are not considered to necessarily exist in reality. If anything, math is a science of ideas, and even that is waxing poetic a bit. As far as natural science is concerned, math is a conceptual tool--it can form the backbone of scientific theories but it is not science.\n\nExplaining the universe through math is "no more accurate than our explanations of god(s)"? How can you possibly hope to justify such a statement? Are you saying that theology, in the complete absence of math, could enable us to correctly land probes on distant planets, or design electronic computers, etc.?

here is an example.\n\nDeductive Reasoning...\n\nWe all know "girls cost time and money". So, \n              GIRLS=TIME X MONEY \nSince "time is gold" and we all know "gold is money", TIME=GOLD, GOLD=MONEY, \n                       TIME=MONEY.\n Hence,          GIRLS=MONEY x MONEY, \n                  or GIRLS=(MONEY)^2. \n Also, "money is the root of all evil" so \n              MONEY=sqrt(EVIL)   \n hence,  GIRLS= ( sqrt(MONEY) )^2  \n              GIRLS=EVIL. So, we can conclude girls are evil. \n\nInductive reasoning..\n\nMy girlfriend is evil. All girls have evil girlfriends. Therefore, all girls are evil.

Logic is the study of reason, that is, of rational ways of drawing or establishing conclusions. \nLogic is for constructing proofs which give us reliable confirmation of the truth of the proven proposition.

To a great extent it has to do with personal choice.  Mathmatics, physics, and hard sciences are all majors that require logical and critical thinking.  Journalism, liberal arts, and arts degrees can be achieved without such logical abilities.  So while a logical thinker could excel in any of these programs, they are more likely to find frustration being surrounded by those without their abilities.  Those without the capacity for logical thought cannot excel in the sciences.  I am sure I am going to get a lot of thumbs down for this from those unable to follow the simple logic.

Match your wit against some of the best minds, the following website presents puzzles that define the borderline between brainteasers and complex mathematical analysis.  Browse through some of the past questions, some of them don't require extensive mathematical savvy, but are on the high school math, algebra and trigonometry, level.\n\nhttp://researchweb.watson.ibm.com/ponder/

Mathematics builds, from simple to complex.\n\nHaving said that, the complex problem you are working may have a solution or may be not. Break down the problem into all the know facts leading to an answer.\n\nWord problems test your understand of mathematical principles and how to applied them.\n\nBe patient and good luck.

I think math is a convenient tool that can be used to facilitate operations in many other fields.\n\nIn computer science's programming, boolean algebra is used widely for logical operations. At the low machine level, native operations such as OR, XOR, NOT, etc are used to manipulate bits of information. At the high level, numerical analysis can be used to solve complex problems. Databases can use statistical methods to perform analysis.\n\nMath is an idealized (perfect) model that is coherent within itself. Hence it provides a very reliable framework for representation and modeling. Of course, the interpretation of the numbers is left to the more intelligent humans.\n\nComputer Science uses some aspects of Math. Math has alot more to offer.

I would say that linear thinking is like black and white.\nThere is "If_________ Then________ thinking.  Basically thinking 'within the box'.

well, usually math formulas have two faults:\n\n- each of them is able to answer only one kind of question\n- when you ask them the right question, they're usually able to give you only one answer, and always the same.\n\nSo, generally speaking, all math formulas don't seem to be quite intelligent...\n\nanyway, to answer to your question, the more stupid one is the reflexive law of equivalence:\n\nA = A for every A\n\nThis is one of the things that make people of intellect stay far from math studies...\n\n---\n\nInstead, if you mean stupid tricks about non-mathematical subjects which involve fake math formulas, you can browse the resolved questions to find some.

Thinking is an internal mental process that uses information as input, integrates that information into previous learned material and the result may be knowledge or may be nothing.Problem solving, planning, information integration, and analysis are four kinds of thinking.

different halves of the brain. verbal reasoning (& hence reading) is more about emotion, math is about logic. High school classes are not that demanding, so you can get good scores in both, but it is very rare for famous mathematicians to be famous writers (Lewis Carol is an exception tho :).

Both are manifestations of logic.  Philosophy is freeform.  Math is rigorous.

What we are interested in, what drives us, what we enjoy and find important, are very rarely logical.  If we lived by logic alone, I doubt we would ever have made it down from the trees, let alone out of the caves.  Humans are driven to learn, for no really logical reason other than instinctive drive- Logic requires quantifiable results for definable problems.  Where is the logic in eating?  To stay alive?  Where is the logic in living?  There isnt any-we live because we want to, we have kids and love them because we want to, are driven to...we use logic to get us what we want-Logic is only one tool that slavishly serves our mindless and beautiful passions.  One of those passions is to learn and explore, so yes, its imminently logical.

There would be two schools of thought there;  The first being that maths is logic, there can be no invention by definition of logic.  The second being that mathematics is, if you will, only the language invented by humankind in order to utilise the discovery of intrinsic logic. E.g.; something is the opposite of nothing. Something as well as something are somethings. The real Question is; which came first? (We'll tolerate neither chicken nor egg jokes from the peanut gallery thnx)

There's a relation. Logic is a tool for made correct inferences. In that sense, if you have a true statement "perfect logic" will give you another true statement. However, there isn't any perfect logic, and more important: We don't know if the first statement is true, and logic cannot do anything to know it!!
