Let me make a general statement first. First of all, there are two kinds of logic in connotation: formal logic in a narrow sense and dialectical logic in a broad sense, deductive logic, analytical logic and so on. So when it comes to logic, it often refers to a certain kind of logic. For example, after completing the high school course of mathematics, you will learn and exercise logical thinking and expression skills such as formal logic, deductive logic, judgment logic, analytical logic, computational logic and graphic logic. Secondly, it is said that learning mathematics can exercise logical thinking, which depends on whether you study seriously or not, and what kind of logic you mean. It's impossible for you to learn logic well without learning it well. It is impossible to finish all the logic study after graduating from college. \x0d\ You said you were good at math, but you didn't find your logical ability improved. On the one hand, it shows that you don't know the classification of logic, and you don't know what logical ability you can improve by learning mathematics; On the other hand, you may not have learned anything that can improve your ability, or you lack the vision of "discovering your progress". \x0d\ Let me answer your little question again. \x0d\ 1, it is true that reading detective stories can exercise logical thinking ability. But is it necessary for everyone to study this course? Is it necessary to offer detective courses? What did you say?/Sorry? The content of this course is complex and involves a wide range of knowledge. It is not widely used in daily life. Is it necessary to put this heavy burden on every student? You say detective studies are more interesting than mathematics because you didn't go in and didn't taste the sweetness of learning mathematics. \x0d\2, when it comes to whether the ancients had the ability of logical thinking without learning mathematics, it depends on two aspects. First, we can't say that the ancients didn't learn mathematics. We can only say that mathematics was not popular in ancient times, and it was not a compulsory course for school students. That is to say, the preconditions you said don't really exist. Second, even if the ancients didn't learn mathematics, no one can say that they didn't have the ability of logical thinking. Because there is an ability, not just the way to school. It can only be said that if you don't learn mathematics, your logical thinking ability will be poor or even lacking; I have the ability originally, and it is difficult to get exercise to improve. \x0d\3, the learning methods in the west are different from those in our country. They use encouragement, guidance and heuristic teaching more. This learning method is conducive to stimulating students' interest in learning, consciously learning, and even conducive to innovation, invention and discovery. Therefore, it is hard to say that it is of much value for you to mention that western countries are lax in their studies and that students are not more stupid than us. Because you can't say that they are loose from the appearance of doing less homework. They just study in a different way from us. \x0d\4 You said "I personally think". These are all your own guesses. How do you prove that they are true? Even if it is true, it is true that the country wants to improve its national strength and grasp students' math scores. But you can't imagine the government deceiving everyone with the excuse that "learning mathematics can improve logical thinking ability", because this kind of deception is very inferior. If mathematics can't improve the ability of logical thinking, how can his government make it up to deceive people? It is an indisputable fact that learning mathematics can improve logical thinking ability. It's just that not everyone can learn and not everyone can use advanced mathematics knowledge.
