Product Description
Review
I tried an extract on a well-known woman journalist, very capable in her own field, but barely able to count. The result was magical. --'Sunday Telegraph'
Teachers should read this book and consider deeply the implications of a new technique which could well revolutionise the teaching of mathematics. --'Teachers' World'

Product Description
Can you multiply 5132437201 by 452736502785 in seventy seconds without reaching for your calculator? Well you could if you used the techniques in this revolutionary book, now available in paperback at a time of growing concern about people's numeracy. The system, described as 'the shorthand of mathematics', only requires the ability to count from one to eleven. It is based on a series of simplified 'keys' and is easy to master giving greater speed, ease of handling numbers and increasing accuracy. Try it for yoursef.

Format:Paperback
I have an older edition of this book, and have ordered this edition for a friend. This is an incredible book, you can learn very simple techniques in minutes, that will amaze your friends and family with the speed and ease at which you can do math. You can write the answer down without any calculations as the work is done very simply in your head. This is a book I delve into from time to time, in an effort to really acquaint myself with the techniques. The only prior math’s knowledge you need is the ability to count to 10! Would revolutionise maths if we taught this in schools!

A good book for those who want better mental arithmetic skills. Whilst a large number of the basic techniques applied were discovered by mathematicians well before Trachtenburg was born (Euler and Cauchy come to mind), this is almost certainly the first time that the thinking was brought to bear on simple arithmetic in such a systematic fashion.

I read this book 28 years ago in 1972. It was a wonderful insight into the world of arithmetic and maths. I still continue my Jakow inspired interest in things numerical. What a brilliant and resilient man.
