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

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.

Scaling Distributes
Scalar Multiplication and its Distributive Law. The repeated
addition of an arrow to itself, n-1 additions, leads to the notion of a scalar
multiple: n times the arrow. Drawing parallelograms, tessellating the plane
with them, implies or suggests that multiplication of vectors by whole numbers
and then fractions distributes over the sum of two different vectors. Here is
motivation if not a proof, for the first distributive law, namely the
distributive of scalar multiplication over vector addition. Here
is another technical observation with little motivation except for
consequences that will follow. Note: the forthcoming geometry
will give an alternate viewpoint or a derivation of the distributive law based
on notions and assumptions about similarities of triangles.
Multiplication by Unsigned Numbers (Scaling)
Here 2A denotes A + A while nA = A added to itself, n-1 times. See A,
2A, 3A and 4A in the diagram below.
Obtaining the Distributive Law for Scaling
The following diagram also suggests that n(B+C) = nB + nC whenever n is
a whole number 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, ....

Similar reasoning with B and C replace by (B/m) and (C/m)
suggests
(n/m) (B +C) = (n/m) B + (n/m) C
So multiplication by a fraction distributes over addition. Beyond
this calculations with real numbers > 0 are done by approximation by
decimal fractions, improper or not.
Geometric arguments using distances in the plane and appeals to error
control in approximations (or continuity) imply
r (B+C) = rB + rC
whenever r > 0 is a nonnegative real number
with B and C position vectors in the plane (initial point at the origin).
With the foregoing motivation, we make two assumptions.
Assumption 1: Distribution Law for Multiplication of Vectors by
unsigned numbers:
r (B+C) = rB + rC
whenever r > 0 is a nonnegative real number with
B and C position vectors in the plane (initial point at the origin).
Assumption 2: Distribution Law for Multiplication of Unsigned Numbers
by unsigned numbers:
r (b+c) = rb + rc
whenever r, b and c are unsigned numbers > 0
Both assumptions will be used in the further chain of
reasoning below.
