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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible, 22 Nov 2005

By	"felineblu" - See all my reviews

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars A great resource., 8 Jan 2001

By A Customer

I originally read this book when I was 13 and I have remembered it ever since. When I started vocational teaching of disadvantaged adults I remembered it and bought a copy for my students. I was impressed with what my students achieved and the faculty was astounded.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thanks, 22 Feb 2006

By	Phillip Martin "Phillip" (England) - See all my reviews

The contents of this book should be printed on gold leaf!
A person found time to record this work whilst facing death.
A work that removes the shroud of mystery that covers a branch of mathematics that holds painful memories for many people.
Mental Maths.
Mathematicians manipulate numbers with ease; general members of the public or school kids don't.
This book shows worked examples of how to do various calculations easier and quicker than 'conventional' means.
Example.
23 x 11
2 is the 'first digit'
3 is the 'last digit'
2 + 3 is the 'middle digit'
So 23 x 11 = 253
Many more examples and information are presented, so that with practice the 'sums' can be done in your head.
It's maths without the tears.
