Abstract
In this chapter, our method of using ISETL to learn Mathematics begins to produce benefits. Predicate calculus refers to the study of quantified logical statements and various operations that can be performed on them. This topic is critical for understanding most of the important concepts in Mathematics. For example, it is hard to imagine how anyone could master the notions of limit and continuity in calculus, linear independence in algebra, or compactness in topology without a solid foundation in working with quantifications.
