Logic
chapters 1 to 5 re- appear not in sequence, as is or longer,
in Volume 1A, Pattern Based
Reason, Bon Appetite.
Logic
Mastery
Amazing, Amusing, Amorous, Delicious, Delightful, Edifying,
Strengthening Elixir.
It eases work & learning difficulties Makes the hard easier. Opens eyes.
Leads to greater precision.
in reading and
writing
Logic
mastery makes the hard, easier. Logic
mastery leads to better, stronger and richer comprehension. Logic
mastery improves reading and writing. Logic
mastery ease learning difficulties. Logic
mastery gives a headstart. In sum, logic
mastery will develops critical thinking, improve reading and writing,
and give a firmer base for work and studies at many levels. Good luck.
After logic,
(a) continue reading Three
Skills for Algebra, chapters 8 to 14 and do so alongside site area on solving
liinear Equations ; or (b) see this calculus
starter lesson and Volume 3, Why

What may be learnt and when depends on how skills
and concepts are developed. Making the hard easier and clearer will allow
earlier & richer development of skills and concepts.

In dealing with real numbers, we assume that each finite
and infinite decimal expansion defines a real number. When
two numbers differ by [1/2] ·10-k
> 0, their decimal expansions are said to agree to k
decimal places. Convergence of a sequence to a limit L
can now be expressed in terms of decimal numbers or
significant digits: For any whole number k, there
is a whole number N, such that all terms in the
sequence after the first N agree with the limit L
to k decimal places.
Convergence here corresponds to the ability in principle,
if not in practice, to patiently compute a decimal or binary
expansion to an unlimited number of places.
Error control in practice requires a rate of convergence
estimate to say how large N must be to obtain k
decimal places. We may distinguish between convergence
arguments which says there is always N and
convergence arguments which give N as an
easily-computed function of k - convergence in
principle versus the desired situation in which the rate of
convergence can be described and computed.
A Cauchy sequence f(n) has the following
property: For each whole number k, there is a whole
number N with the following property: all terms in
the sequence after the first N-1
agree with each other to at least k decimal places.
This property allows us to define and compute in principle
an infinite decimal expansion. This expansion is assumed to
define a unique real number: the limit L of the
Cauchy sequence.
