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 was an amazing course! Lots of interesting content. The content is also explained really well, i found it really easy to understand. The assessments are a little challenging, but reasonably sized.

This was a really good course, making you "think" in general and in particular about mathematical proofs. The professor's exposition was outstanding. The explanation of evaluation of proofs was really nice.

This course really helps a student to think like a mathematician- especially, how to go about proofs. Lectures help in in-depth understanding of concepts. Overall, it is a great course for all math lovers.

I wish I had a class like this in high school. It would have been a great class between algebra and calculus. Should be required for every high school student. I plan on reviewing this class many times.

Somewhat stressful and difficult to complete. But worth the effort in the end. It was time-consuming and it takes time to understand the matter. So not a good idea if you're in a rush, but great learning.

Top lecturer and top lecturers. Must admit, i had to work harder this time for it to really understand. Happy I took the energy to find again my passion for mathematics in a way i really enjoyed.

It was an excellent course and it is something that I love in the end. It teaches a lot about the idea of math is a subject that should not be feared. It is a subject that should be understood.

This is an amazing course if you want to start with advanced mathematics especially want to improve in proof writing. which is one of the most important skills required for a graduate program.

The course seemed excellent. I had started it a few years ago but hadn't finished it. I am an Electrical Engineering graduate from some years ago. I find the first few chapters very valuable.

Started off fairly simple, but as you progress throughout the weeks, it gets challenging. This course has taught me critical thinking, and skills that can be applied to other subjects/modules

Great course! Highly recommend it to all my friends interested in math. Devlin is a talented teacher, not just a mathematician (as it usually happens with someone who happen to teach math).

Really really good introduction to proofs and formal mathematics in general. As someone who is now taking more formal maths courses as fundamentals for AI, this has been immensely helpful.

I have to say I enjoyed the course and the reading materials. My advice would be to take the course it will make you think. It is a great refresher / introduction to mathematical thinking.

With the help of this course, my grade for fundamental mathematics at school raised from C to A. Really thankful. This course truly helped me better understand the abstruse conceptions.

Excellent course. It brings a formal but also interesting way to mathematical formalization and proving techniques. It also shows how to determine the quality of mathematical proofs.

We are still in the early days of MOOCS. Prof. Devlin Makes sure that you get the best possible education despite the limitations of the platform. You'll really learn something here.

Really made me develop a newer thought process that not only helps with my high school level mathematics but brings to me a stronger outlook on the statements we make so casually.

Here are three benefits i found after taking this course
This course helps improve your logical reasoning, prepares you for future maths classes and also helps you in programming.
