Mastery 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. Try the Twiddla

If x = a+ib = (a,b) and y = c+id = (c,d) are complex numbers or points in the plane the first and second inequalities also hold as well. In this situation, the points (0,0), x = (a,b) and x+y = (a+c,b+d) form the vertices of triangle with sides of length |x| = Ö[(a2+b2)], |y| = Ö[(c2+d2)] and |x+y| = Ö[((a+c)2+(b+d)2)]. The first triangle inequality |x|+|y| ³ |x+y| implies or reflects the observation that the sum of the lengths of two sides of a triangle in the plane is greater than the length of the third. The second triangle inequality |x+y| ³ | |x|-|y|| indicates the length of the third side is greater than the difference of the lengths of the other two. See the following diagram.
The foregoing diagram provides graphical support for the triangle inequalities.The first triangle inequality indicates the length of the arrow x+y forming one side is less than (or =) sum the length of the other two sides. The second triangle inequality indicates the length of the arrow forming one side is also greater than (or =) the differences of the lengths of the other two sides.
Postscript: Outside of this site, the webpage Triangle Inequality offers a simple proof of the triangle inequality in which
<a,b> = a1b1+a2b22+a3b3
denotes the inner product of points in space.
By mathematical induction, the first triangle inequality can be extended as follows. Triangle inequalities are of interest in estimating or bounding the size or magnitudes of real and complex numbers (error control say). Examples or applications will follow in the appendix Properties of Limits.
