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;

Jumps and Limited Error Control
In some cases unlimited error control is not possible at the point x = a. It fails in the following case:
There is an e > 0 such that for every d > 0, there is some x satisfying the conditionThis means as the input x to the function y = f(x) becomes a better approximation to the number a, there is no guarantee the difference |f(x)-f(a)| will be smaller than the error control target e. This concept is illustrated by functions whose graphs have a few jumps in them. The height of the largest jump near a point x = a indicates how small the target tolerance e or ½ ·10-n can be in the discussion of error control.
|x-a| < d and |f(x)-f(a)| > e.
 |
Example of a function with jumps and with places where the function is not defined. |
Unlimited error control is possible in the following circumstances:
These circumstances appear when f(x) is continuous at x = a.
For each target tolerance e > 0, there is a tolerance d > 0 such that the condition
|x-a| < d and |f(x)-f(a)| £ e.
Computations on machines with finite accuracy precision arithmetic, restrict the number n of decimals places that can be accurately computed. Every computing machine which calculates to finitely many binary or decimal places, suffers from such a limit. Small discontinuities in calculations appear, except in those case where exact arithmetic can be done. For example, on a computing machine which computes to at most n0 decimal places, the existence of a rule of the form

|
On a computing machine which computes to at most n0 decimal places, the error control of a single addition and multiplication are guaranteed to only n0 binary (or decimal) places. Digits beyond the n0 place are uncertain. If several such calculations are done, with numbers in one calculation being used in the next, errors accumulate and accuracy is lost. The calculations in question may have to be reorganized to improve accuracy.
