Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Uncover the mysteries that lie within your calculator This remarkable book explores the simple internal calculatorprocesses—algorithms and programs—that tell us, forexample, that the cosine of 56? is 0.5591929035. Using carefullyconstructed diagrams and figures, the author effectivelydemonstrates how calculator keys compute powers, roots, logarithms,and trigonometry functions, while also providing insights intosimple programming, the conversion between decimal and binarynumeration, and perhaps most importantly, the structure of ournumeration systems. Many people believe that the processes thatdrive calculators demand advanced mathematical concepts; however,this book proves that a minimal understanding of algebra andgeometry is all that is needed to follow the step-by-stepexplanations of how scientific calculators work. Inside Your Calculator: From Simple Programs to SignificantInsights is a complete and multifaceted exercise in criticalthinking. This book features: A detailed explanation of how to use a graphics calculator andprogram basic functions A discussion of the history of mathematics when appropriate,which provides a foundation for further learning Fundamental mathematical lessons and interesting applications ofpre-calculus mathematics A thorough review of the fundamentals of programming, algebra,and geometry needed to gain insight into why the algorithms workand how the results are meaningful in our lives While the simultaneous use of a calculator is not needed to gaininsight into how the algorithms work, those who do have aprogrammable graphics calculator can experiment with the programspresented in the book. These programs may be used on TI-84 andTI-83 calculators, and additional information for other TexasInstruments calculators as well as the Casio FX series is availableon the book's related web site. As a result of over fifty years of award-winning teachingexperience in both high school and college classrooms, Dr. Risinganticipates and answers potential questions from readers, and hesuccessfully brings this subject alive in an illuminating andentertaining way. This book is therefore not only ideal forundergraduate mathematics majors as either a primary orsupplemental text, but it also appeals to anyone with an interestin mathematics and its ideas.

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. You will be able to master it, even if you have failed math in school. Imagine waking up tomorrow being able to do lightning fast math in your head. Your family & friends will look at you like you are some kind of a genius. Since you do the calculations in your head, you will acquire better mental habits in the process. So you will not just look like a genius. You will actually be one.
