I discovered my fondness for math and I am great at it. I love math, but when I try to solve logic puzzles, it can be pretty frustrating. Can you like math and do good in computer science without good logic skills? or can you build an aptitude for logic with good math skills? What do I do?
Thanks for the answer. I'm taking college algebra 3, it's a prerequisite for pre-calculus.

i am sure you have decent logical abilities as strong mathematical skill is usually accompanied by good logic skills. So, don’t let that thought stop you from pursuing a computer science major.

However, if you truly believe you lack logical skills, I suggest doing some mathematical proofs. There are a lot of good ones out there that you can find, I am sure. If you specify in additional details what kind of mathematical background you have so far, I guess I could try to suggest a few fields of mathematics that you can do some proofs on…
