> Mathematics is an excellent proxy for problem-solving

I went to a special, maths focused high school class and this rings true on that lower level too. I am a reasonably successful programmer/architect today and I have -- repeatedly -- attributed my successful attitude toward solving my problems to the 1200 or so problems we solved during those four years. Our maths education was literally nothing else but solving one problem after the other.
