Overview
Syllabus
- Week 1: Propositional logic
- Welcome to Week 1! This week, you will start your learning journey in the exciting world of logic. You will learn what a proposition is and how you can use propositional logic to describe real-world situations to help you solve problems. You will also learn how to describe logic expressions in a tabular format. Once you have understood the foundations of propositional logic and learnt how to write propositions, you will learn how you can combine them together to describe more complicated scenarios.
- Week 2: Modelling with logic
- Welcome to Week 2. We will start the week with a recap about truth tables, and then move on to applying your understanding of propositional logic to solve puzzles. At the end of the week, you will become a detective and use your skills to solve a mystery theft!

I'll rate it 5 stars. I had a better understanding of logic and how to apply it in solving real problems. The lessons are simplified and easy to understand. Very interesting course. I recommend this course.
-
The basic logic was nicely explained and I got the understanding in no time. I hope this would have gone a little deeper with more examples. I enjoyed it
-
Short and sweet, just what I need to get a quick sense of the introductory understanding of the various logic operations.
-
Good introductory course for anyone with zero background in this subject.
Concepts delivered in bite sized chunks which were reinforced with the pulse check quizzes.
Would be good to provide more examples to work through to cement the knowledge.
Overall - recommend this as a primer/starter. -
Claude Henry Morales GarcÃaI personally greatly enjoyed this course, I come from a base in programming and to learn more of logic is a must. Absolutely pleased -
Programming PolyglotThe course was concise and a very good introduction to propositional logic. My favorite part of the course was using 'modeling' to solve puzzles in week 2. It was immensely gratifying and delightful, and certainly rewarding. Alas! I wish there were more practice problems. Other than that, a splendid course that I would highly recommend to anyone interested in studying logic.
