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;

A French Language Texts

Louise Lafortune et al, Mathematique 436, Collection Mathophilie, Tome 1 et 2, Guerin, Montreal Quebec, 514 842 3481 - Cost for schools: 34 CDN or less

These two French language tomes offer clear and nearly complete theoretical summaries of mathematics 436 in their respective appendices.  Students who read French should see the book for the sake of its theoretical synthesis or summary in the appendices of both tomes.

Teachers and libraries in the Quebec English school system should order copies for their students to consult. Each book is inexpensive, less than 40 dollars each.

I hope the author and publishers will produce a English edition as well. The MEQ or the English community in Quebec could subsidize that endeavor.

Reviews or partial reviews of other textbooks, textbooks available in French and not in English, may follow here in spring 2007.
