5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible, 22 Nov 2005
This review is from: The Trachtenberg Speed System of Basic Mathematics (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!

5.0 out of 5 stars A great resource., 8 Jan 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Trachtenberg Speed System of Basic Mathematics (Paperback)
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
This review is from: The Trachtenberg Speed System of Basic Mathematics (Paperback)
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.
