• Resumen

  • Development of logical approaches in problem solving helps students create new algorithms for specific problems, enhancing problem-solving skills for highly motivated students. Applying mathematics and logical thinking to chemistry problem solving allows students to extract pertinent information and explore novel problem-solving approaches. The implementation of inequalities, Diophantine equations, and the discrete nature of possible answers in chemistry problems are explored in example problems.
