Read  logic chapters 1 to 5  in online volume Three Skills for Algebra  for greater skills & confidence in  work 
and study

Learn to read notes and textbooks like a lawyer, so that no nuance, no subtlety and no clause escapes your attention.

 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 Slopes  & More Math, chapters 2 to 6;

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.

Differentiation - The Quotient Rule

Quotient Rule: If

h(x) =  u(x) 
v(x)

then 

h'(x) = 

  u'(x)v(x) - u(x)v'(x)   
v(x)2

Proof:  Observe

h(x) =  u(x)*   1  
v(x)

Therefore the product rule and reciprocal rules imply

h'(x)  u'(x)*   1  
v(x)
+ u(x) ( -  v'(x)  
v(x)2
)
=

 u'(x)v(x) - u(x)v'(x)
v(x)2

Reciprocal Rule Again: If

h(x) =   1 
v(x)

then 

h'(x) = 

   - v'(x)   
v(x)2

One proof follow's from the Quotient Rule with u = u(x) = 1.
