"... have you thought of using Robert Katz' Axiomatic Analysis or Introduction to Axiomatic Analysis, Tufts University (sometime in the 1960s or 1970s, publisher not recollected - often available in libraries)?
Katz was an interest fellow, and we need more like him. He translated quantitative language and verbal language back and forth with relative ease, making him in my opinion a Creative Genius, ...
His book, incidentally or not, is an excellent way to learn elementary logic and elementary arithmetic and some other elementary things with almost no effort except the effort of reading. ..."
