How to sketch, and satisfy, logic problems

Thinking, fuzziness, and constraints Computers can be great at solving logic problems like the ones mentioned above, as long as we can describe them in a formally correct and detailed way. Special programming languages and techniques—theorem provers—exist, and can calculate solutions for huge datasets. These languages are most often used by mathematicians to help with proving formal theorems, or by domain experts to aid in modeling large scale industrial production systems. A Constraint satisfaction problem can be solved using logic programming techniques such as Satisfiability Modulo Theories
