Abstract
The aim of this research is to investigate the relationship between logical thinking ability and learning mathematics. The purpose of this paper is to make clear the characteristics of university students' logical thinking ability. As a result of the analysis, the following were discovered. 1) The scores of the students who are majoring in mathematics are significantly higher than those of students who are not. 2) The scores of the third grade students who are majoring in mathematics are significantly higher than those of the first grade students majoring in mathematics. This isn't the same case among students who aren't majoring in mathematics. As a result, I came to the assumption that students can enhance their logical thinking ability by learning mathematics at university.
