Wrong. Most of what professional mathematicians do is logical reasoning about patterns to draw conclusions supported by proofs. I'm always grimly amused by the assertion on Sudoku puzzles that "no math is required" when the whole exercise of solving one is providing a constructive existence and uniqueness proof.
OK, I admit I'm old and grumpy and all, but just what in the hell is that sentence supposed to mean? Be kind now. I'm really not a bad guy. Honest.
This problem is similar to a Sudoku puzzle in that it is a pure LOGIC problem. Professional mathematicians may employ logical reasoning skills to find patterns, but that doesn’t make the logic that they use “math.”
