This is a perfect course for the ones who want to excel at rigorous math and who want to be a discoverer or inventor with a heuristic mindset!
Heuristic is the study of discovery and invention. Heuristic mindset is the basis of all discovery and invention in the history of human beings.
In this course we will see the general outline of MODERN HEURISTIC. The course has 3 main parts:
Logic:
In this part we will see the basic and advanced concepts in logic that lay the foundation of building rigorous mathematical arguments.
Proofs:
Here, we will cover general proof techniques in mathematics. Proofs techniques include:
direct proof
proof by contraposition
proof by contradiction
proof by cases
existence and uniqueness proof
proof with sets
proof by mathematical induction
combinatorial proofs
Modern Heuristic:
This part includes the general steps and advices in approaching problems. We will use the steps and advices mentioned in this section combined with logic and proof techniques to learn how to solve complex problems and how to prove mathematical statements.
The course will be updated several times a month with new problems and sections according to the demand of the students. Especially Modern Heuristic section will be updated every week with new concepts and problems.
I hope you enjoy the course!

Welcome video :) Lets explore the overall structure and content of the course!
We will start with some core definitions such as proposition, propositional variable and compound proposition.
We will see:
the main logical operator which is negation (a.k.a. not) operation
the main logical connectives which are and, or, xor, conditional and biconditinoal connectives
the order of precedence of operations and connectives
We will see:
What each of tautology, contradiction and contingency means
What logical equivalence means
How to determine whether two compound propositions are equivalent to each other
De Morgan Laws
Review what we have covered so far! If you are going too fast, you may need to slow down! Learning math is a slow process.
In this quiz, we will see how we can express uniquness by quantifiers.
Suppose we have a propositional function P(x) with a certain domain A.
We want to show that P(x) is true only for one element in its domain.
In other words we want to show that there exists a unique element in the domain that makes P(x) true.
We have covered great deal of logic so far.
Congrats! You have seen great deal of concepts in logic!
