Multiple Intelligence 3. Logical/Mathematical Intelligence

This is defined as, ability to think conceptually and abstractly, and capacity to discern logical and numerical patterns. Mathematics is geometry and algebra, theoretical and numerical. Most important basic fact is, Mathematics is the Mother of All the science factors. 

So this Logical intelligence is considered as integral intelligence of personality. Mathematical intelligence need not be studied in schools only, this statement may appear weird but it's commonly seen that vegetable merchants do calculation of 1 dozen banana, 2 kg potato, 1 kg onion faster than us and that too without calculator. 

Logical means mathematical, it explain further one important thing, that any theory to be proved needs mathematical model. Thus this logical intelligence is the link between imaginations, virtual thinking and reality, proof, experience. 

To enhance this intelligence, one need to learn mathematics in traditional ways and/or education and then practice it in daily routine. Application of mathematical intelligence frequently in daily buying helps a lot. 

Vedic mathematics is the best way to improve logical intelligence. Indian Philosophy states Vedic Ganeet as base of Shastra. Let me share one fact, Sanskrit language and mathematics are interlinked, even updated computers accept Sanskrit language as priority. If you remember, in our generation our grandparents taught us Sanskrit mantra, 

Bhagavad Geeta Aadhyay, RamRaksha, every evening along with recitation tables (Padhe). Chanting and recitation helps to improve Smruti,( deep memory) an important factor for logical and abstract thinking. Numerical patterns must be learned with writing, drawing and then application. Thus in brief, logical, mathematical intelligence improvisation needs, learning, understanding, regular practice and application. Please, help yourself and your kids to fall in love with mathematics, it is really wonderful
