Great course that everyone should take in their lives. Teaches skills that are necessary not just in math, but in all walks of life. Excellent pacing and course material. Teaches the topics very well.

It has help evaluate what I put into decision in any applicable context. Since I've noted what decision I make and how outcome can be made to vary when I consider all components in a isolated manner.

Every thing is quite good in my opinion. The only problem is that community is not so active.
I really learn some amazing stuff, that helped my improve in many things, including competitive programming, computer science study, critical thinking and of course, mathematical proofs.

Despite the lector was considerably inconsistent in final part of the course (grading students and selfish profs) the site gives me a lot of renewal information. This mentioned inconsistence looks like already was even a good feature! Thanks for the course!

I thought it was very interesting and for someone who has not taken a math course in 55+ years challenging. I wish Professor Devlin would have explained some things to a greater extent but I suppose for most of the class, that was not necessary.

i liked following this course. i just have some minor remarks: it felt like it was a little bit too "slow" although i agree with the idea that acceding to "mathematical thining" takes time. also i found the quizzes during courses annoying.

This is for mathematicians, so it's a bit difficult for someone with few knowledge of mathematics at all. It's very good bcause it develps the correct logic for it but I think this course needs more words to explain the common things

This is an excellent course that I would strongly recommend to anybody interested in picking up some fundamental skills essential for developing a Mathematical way of thinking! Such a skill would be valuable in a range of fields.

Great course for the students who knows little about college mathematics. For those one who are already professional at university mathematics, this course is very easy to follow but still benefits students form many aspects.

From my understanding so far; it's a good course that lets you quantify your basic logical thinking ability and understand your work areas if you're looking at understanding the beautiful world of mathematics.Happy Learning

Great course for those who might want an additional understanding of mathamatical logic and number theory. For me its was challenging, but I learned essential math patterns and basic skills I wish I got in High School.

Looking at the production value, it's quite obvious that this is one of the older courses. However, it delivers what it promises. My only gripe is Dr. Devlin's handwriting, which can be really hard to read at times.

Although I'm a 9th grade student and found many concepts hard, the course was very informative and interesting. Thank you coursera for offering me the opportunity to take this course with stanford.

I am happy to learn Math from the beginning of the beginning. Moreover, if this course was read for me at school, I am sure that I could have much more closest relations with math:)

Course is great but it is difficult to print assignments in PDF because printers is not accessible by everyone. It is better when all assignments use coursera platform.

I have learned how to apply basic logic methods to daily life. Also, I have accustomed to evaluate someones work, so now I can look from more objective point of view

Great course overall though i would have preferred that the last assignments to have been something different instead of simply grading what others have done.

Boa iniciativa, boas palestras e aulas. Todavia, necessita-se de um adaptação para países da língua portuguesa. Pelo valor pago pelo curso, nada mais justo!

Nice course overall. It makes you do and achieve what it says, so if you want to learn mathematical thinking that is the best introductory course for you.

some of the functionality of the coursera site makes accomplishing tasks cumbersome, specifically week 9, but overall a great introduction to the topic.

A brilliant course must-take course, all that it needs is a little polishing up to cater for the very short attention span that today's netizens have.

Get rid of week 9, it is too subjective and inter-subjective. I did learn to recognize mathematical logic by doing the quizzes from weeks 1-8.

Really nice course, with many insightful and inspiring point. However, this course should be marked as "beginners" because it's too easy...

A nice course. Loads of learning. The learning curve is manageable. But significant improvements can be made toward module 9.

I'm listening this course to improve my English in domain of math.
Course is a little bit boring but pleasant to listen :)

In the final chapters, the most complex, the languages available are fewer than at the beginning of the course
