Atega, Justine Shane A.Thank you so much for this! This absolutely provided significant scope of one of the most important tools of economists which is logic. -
Jacky WaiThe course video is only the typing of the word one by one on the screen. In such case, I prefer to read a book than reading subtitle on a video course! -
I read mathematics logic before and this course was so boring for me. The topics were so easy and no relation between economics!!!!
