    The course Is Philosophy Useful for Mathematics was useful and different from traditional lessons, as it helped me understand mathematics from a deeper intellectual perspective and connect philosophical logic with mathematical thinking The course enhanced my analytical skills and taught me how to ask better questions and understand the foundations of rules instead of memorizing them. It also increased my awareness of the importance of critical thinking in solving mathematical problems and I recommend it to anyone who wants to develop their mind not just their calculation skills
