Download or read book Mental Math written by Abhishek VR and published by Ofpad. This book was released on 2019-05-19 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover the Mental Math Secrets to Become a Human Calculator! Schools taught you a way to do math that works when you have a pen & paper. But the same methods, takes a lot of effort when you have to do math in your head. This is because it uses a lot of your working memory (the short term memory used to complete a mental task). For example, try to mentally multiply 73,201 x 3. It might take only a few seconds to multiply the individual digits. But if you multiply right to left the way you learnt in school, you will rely on your working memory. You will use it to recall every single digit you calculate to put it back together and get your final answer. You may even find yourself calculating some digits again because you forgot one of the numbers. The difficulty increases further when you have to multiply larger numbers like 732 x 323. You will have to remember numbers across many steps. Mental arithmetic would be a lot easier to do in your head if you didn’t have to remember so many numbers. In school, you learnt to write the down numbers as you calculate to free up your working memory. In mental math, there are many other ways to do the same thing. One of the tricks to free up your working memory is to calculate from left to right instead of right to left. Try multiplying 73,201 x 3 from left to right, starting from 7 x 3 and ending with 1 x 3. You will find yourself calling out the answer before you even finish the whole problem. You can use this trick to solve any math problem in the future. But we have just scratched the surface. There are many more tricks inside the book that make doing mental math as easy as reading a comic. Here is a glimpse of what you will be able to master: • Mentally add large numbers(Example: Add 8739 + 5492 in your head in seconds) • Subtract numbers fast. (Example: Mentally subtract 7520 - 4998 without writing anything down) • Multiplication tricks to multiply three-digit numbers. (Example: Multiply 323 x 123 in your head) • Square large numbers in seconds (Example: Calculate 64 x 64 faster than a calculator) • Mentally divide large numbers (Example: Divide 601324 by 73 entirely in your head) • Quickly check a calculation with 90% accuracy without re-calculating • Overcome math anxiety • Cement your mental math skills with bonus weekly training. This book only has the best techniques used by over 27 mental and Vedic math experts across the world. The techniques in this book are so simple you will wonder why nobody taught you this before.

Download or read book Magical Mathematics written by Persi Diaconis and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-10-13 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Magical Mathematics reveals the secrets of amazing, fun-to-perform card tricks--and the profound mathematical ideas behind them--that will astound even the most accomplished magician. Persi Diaconis and Ron Graham provide easy, step-by-step instructions for each trick, explaining how to set up the effect and offering tips on what to say and do while performing it. Each card trick introduces a new mathematical idea, and varying the tricks in turn takes readers to the very threshold of today's mathematical knowledge. For example, the Gilbreath principle--a fantastic effect where the cards remain in control despite being shuffled--is found to share an intimate connection with the Mandelbrot set. Other card tricks link to the mathematical secrets of combinatorics, graph theory, number theory, topology, the Riemann hypothesis, and even Fermat's last theorem. Diaconis and Graham are mathematicians as well as skilled performers with decades of professional experience between them. In this book they share a wealth of conjuring lore, including some closely guarded secrets of legendary magicians. Magical Mathematics covers the mathematics of juggling and shows how the I Ching connects to the history of probability and magic tricks both old and new. It tells the stories--and reveals the best tricks--of the eccentric and brilliant inventors of mathematical magic. Magical Mathematics exposes old gambling secrets through the mathematics of shuffling cards, explains the classic street-gambling scam of three-card monte, traces the history of mathematical magic back to the thirteenth century and the oldest mathematical trick--and much more"-
