I found this abstract way of thinking about problems clear, & organised. "Mathematical Logic" is diffrent from the kind of Math I was taught, which was a top down approach to solving problems.

"Mathematical Logic" seems to be able to derive solutions to problems in a ground up fashion where a solution can somtimes elegantly present its self as long as you apply correct mathematical properties.

What other techniques do you hackers use to improve your abstract thinking?
