Description: This course is initially built around a carefully selected set of puzzles from Martin Gardner’s My Best Mathematical and Logic Puzzles. The problems are presented with clear, step-by-step reasoning, diagrams, and quizzes to challenge and engage you.But this is far more than a puzzle course. Through these problems, and especially in later sections, we reflect on the very structure of logical thinking, when intuition fails, how formal reasoning helps, and how paradoxes expose the limits of thought. These discussions naturally lead to Gödel’s incompleteness theorems, inspired in part by the works of Torkel Franzén, Raymond Smullyan, and sections on Gödel from Ananyo Bhattacharya’s The Man from the Future: The Visionary Life of John von Neumann.Rather than covering logic in a purely symbolic or formal way, this course takes you on a journey guided by intuition, sometimes moving to higher levels of abstraction. Some puzzles are more accessible, while others are more subtle, but the main objective is to show different facets of reasoning (from intuitive reasoning to more rigorous reasoning in some cases), and from mathematics to philosophy, artificial intelligence, and decision-making.Along the way, you will discover how understanding the limits of logic can help you evaluate information, avoid common reasoning traps, and even see where advanced AI systems like ChatGPT can make mistakes.Some sections are academic in nature, but others provide practical insights useful for professionals and leaders who want to think clearly, solve problems under uncertainty, and make smarter decisions. Although the course does not focus explicitly on business examples, it teaches transferable thinking skills directly applicable in professional contexts, which is why I chose the Business category. However, the course benefits anyone seekin
