About the Course

This course provides a very brief introduction to basic mathematical concepts like propositional and predicate logic, set theory, the number system, and proof techniques. At the end of the course, students will be able to (1) detect the logical structure behind simple puzzles (2) be able to manipulate logical expressions (3) explain the connection between logic and set theory (4) explain the differences between natural, integer, rational, real and complex numbers (5) recognise different basic proof techniques...

This was a testing introduction, but I found it very useful to getting to grips with the basics of logic. I very much enjoyed the assignments presented and hope to revisit them at some point.

This course is really helpful and informative but it lacks to provide practice sums and course should have suggested some preference book which can be helpful for problem-solving.

Very short course and not an interactive course .This course only gives a birds eye view of field of logic and set theory and it does not give any case studies to practice your logical thinking skills. Coursera's other course on logic which is offered by stanford is way better than this course.

The whole idea of this course is interesting, since logic is generally important. However, I do not believe the course has achieved its intent. Questions are not well elaborated, often vague. I have seen other people who has made the same complaint.

Handwriting on a blackboard: slows the rhythm, and not always fully legible. Would there be an issue with using good old PowerPoint? The course should address a few more topics of observational economics, such as logic of statistical inference, rather than axiomatic of basic mathematics.

The titles of some videos do not reflect the content of the video.

The course was alright, but the final test was so frustrating, not because it was hard but because it was unfair. I answered a question in one way and it said that answer was correct (but i didn't have enough points to pass the test). So when i tried again, i answered in the same way and now my answer was "incorrect". And it wasn't one question either, for me it was question 2, 8 and 9. The answer that i chose for question 9 was correct the first time, then the second time the same pick was considered incorrect and the third time the same answer was correct this time. It's very frustrating that the answers are sometimes considered correct and sometimes the same ones are incorrect in their book. And i have to wait 48 hours to try again. I can admit that the first time I answered some questions incorrectly and that i didn't deserve to pass, but on the second attempt, two of my answers which were previously correct, were now counted as a mistake. And on the third attempt i had 70%, so just one question away from passing and it was the same thing. Please fix this.

I found that the space given to me by the lecturer to work on the subject matter myself made the course more enjoyable. It is some time since I have had to apply myself to something in such a way and apart from learning what I learnt, I now feel confident that I can similarly apply myself to other courses on subjects that interest me.

The course offers the basics of propositional logic in a very complete form. Even though I don't study economics, in engineering it will help me to analyze many processes. Very useful course!

It's a Good course for economics and relationship courses but I believe that the course would be more interactive, the explications are excelents.

Great course for an introduction into logic and its relations mathematics. The instructor was very responsive and helpful as well.

Actually, I have learned this material in school, but when I try to do the test it was still challenging.
