Believe what you will but a rose by any other name...<p>Maths is problem solving, recognizing patterns, and the ability to express those ideas and solutions. The language is rather difficult to learn but most people can do the former intuitively without being told they&#x27;re doing maths.<p>Without giving away the game there are beautiful mathematical concepts built into it. You may not realize that as you encounter new puzzles and constraints you are internalizing a vocabulary for the patterns you start to recognize. Once you start writing down this language you will appear to be doing what people recognize as maths. However I find myself content with simply having the conversation... for now.<p>It is certainly tempting to start formulating a proper solution to some of the puzzles and write programs to test out my theories.<p>Regardless of what you want to call it I think you can certainly hone your &quot;problem solving&quot; skills in this game.
