That is, the ability to observe, compare, analyze, synthesize, abstract, summarize, judge and reason things, and the ability to express one's thinking process accurately and methodically by using scientific logical methods. It's completely different from thinking in images.
Logical thinking ability is not only the ability to learn mathematics well, but also the ability to learn other disciplines and deal with daily life problems. Mathematics is a discipline that reflects the objective world with quantitative relations (including spatial forms), which is very logical and rigorous.

Logical thinking should follow the laws of logic, mainly the laws of formal logic, such as unity of opposites, law of excluded middle, dialectical logic, mutual change of quality, negation of negation and so on. If these laws are violated, there will be logical errors in thinking, such as changing concepts, changing topics, self-contradiction, metaphysics, etc., and cognition will be chaotic and wrong.
There are two types of logical thinking: empirical and theoretical.
The former forms concepts on the basis of practical activities and makes judgments and inferences based on practical experience. For example, workers and peasants use production experience to solve problems in production, which mostly belong to this type.
The latter is based on theory and uses scientific concepts, principles, laws and formulas to make judgments and inferences. The thinking of scientists and theoretical workers mostly belongs to this type. Empirical thinking is often limited to narrow experience, so the degree of abstraction is low.
