Sigh! Another child left behind. From this child's point of view, because "people who are good at math are good at breaking problems down into parts, recognizing patterns, and applying known formulae to those parts to arrive at the one right answer", they rarely come up "with a new way to solve a problem." So that's how a good Software Engineer uses Logic to reason. You need to take math more seriously in school or you may go to a wrong school. There are more than one way to get to the solution you are just too lazy to discover a new way to do it. And if we rarely come up with a new way to solve unfamiliar problems then we all died out long time ago.
