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;

Foreword
This work Pattern Based Reason surveys rule and pattern based thought in daily life, society, science and technology. There are simple ideas which should be more widely known. The first chapters below show how reliable implication rules can be employed one at a time or one after another to arrive at conclusions. These chapters are very simple. Mastery of their ideas will serve well all students of logic. The middle chapters describe or survey the origins, discovery and applications of rules and patterns. Not all is certain. Further data to use with them may be missing or not available. In the middle chapters, the problem of identifying reliable knowledge is described, but not solved, except for an explanation of the empirical method of coping. The identification problem touches many subjects. Students of critical thinking, persuasion, philosophy, mathematics, science and technology should find its discussion helpful. The last chapters in this book show how the common concepts of a rule being obeyed, disobeyed or not disobeyed may justify or explain or provide a context for the entries in truth tables for material implication. Some symbols appear in the discussion of logic. All may be regarded as substitutes for the pronoun IT. The last chapter describes indirect methods for using implication rules to arrive at conclusions - a subject of interest to mathematics students and perhaps readers of detective mysteries.
