Udacity cancels Logic & Discrete Math offering, announces applied Differential Equations course

Unfortunately, Udacity has announced that their CS221 course on Logic and Discrete Math has been cancelled. This is only a bit surprising, considering that the course was already heavily delayed.

They've chosen to instead recommend their new CS222 course: Differential Equations in Action. That appears to be an applied course that reviews some ways that differential equations are used in everyday technology and how they were used to "rescue Apollo 13."

You can see the complete announcement below.
Thank you for having enrolled in CS221: Logic and Discrete Mathematics.  Unfortunately, we regret to inform you that despite much preparation and anticipation, we will not be launching this course. 
This was a very difficult choice, but an important one. We continue to push and raise the bar on the courses we bring you.  We want to always ensure improved quality and the educational experience we provide you, our students. We want to make clear this disappointment is in no way a reflection on Jonathan, but on the Udacity team and the constraints we put on ourselves. We hope very much to work with Jonathan again in the future. 
For those of you who are looking for another math course, we recommend checking out our just announced CS222: Making Math Matter, Differential Equations in Action.  We believe this course will delight you with the higher quality bar we have set for ourselves. Enrollment is open and course will start on September 3rd.   
Continue learning and stay curious!
