The article I pointed to describes "logic." I had assumed that you didn't really mean to say "symbolic logic" in your original response. For one thing, it's unrelated to algebra except in the sense that it takes a mathematical form; for another, it's useless for anyone who isn't interested in following some of the dead-ends that the 20th-century analytic philosophers ran down. I hope you don't insist that your kid learn symbolic logic unless he's really fascinated by it. It certainly won't help him employ anyone. If you want him to learn formal deduction, try Aristotle's syllogisms. They're useful.
