Clear, concise compendium of about 150 time-saving math short-cuts features faster, easier ways to add, subtract, multiply, and divide. Each problem includes an explanation of the method. No special math ability needed.

"SHORT CUTS IN MATH" is a fast paced way to review or learn the basics of math in a non- academic method using a lot of short cuts to many problem solutions. It also shows the difference between the regular procedure and the short cut.This book makes it interesting to learn math.

Vedic Mathematics for Schools, Book 2 is intended as a first year textbook for senior schools or for children aiming for examination at 11+. It is based on the fundamental principles of Vedic mathematics which were reconstructed earlier this century by Sri Sankaracarya Bharati Krsna Tirthaji. Although the sutras may well be very ancient, practice and experience have shown that they are highly relevant and useful to the modern-day teaching of mathematics. They are entirely applicable to modern problems and even to modern approaches to mathematics. Topics covered include the four rules of number, fractions and decimals, simplifying and solving in algebra, perimeters and areas, ratio and proportion, percentages, averages, graphs, angles and basic geometrical constructions. The book contains step-by-step worked examples with explanatory notes together with over two hundred practice exercises. The material in this book is currently used at schools around the world assocaited with the Education Renaissance Trust.

A specially designed program using rules, patterns and memory techniques similar to those found in language arts to teach difficult math concepts to children. This bonus book contains 10 all new lesson plans, including worksheets, take-home pages, assessment pages and a variety of support materials to teach multiplication and division.

Entertaining, easy-to-follow suggestions for developing greater speed and accuracy in doing mathematical calculations. Surefire methods for multiplying without carrying, mastering fractions, working quickly with decimals, handling percentages, and much more.

Vedic Mathematics was reconstructed from ancient vedic texts early last century by Sri Bharati Tirthaji (1884-1960). It is a complete systems of mathematics which has many surprising properties and applies at all levels and areas of mathematics, pure and applied. The system is based on sixteen word-formulae that relate to the way in which we use our mind.

Math does not exist. Its just a language to understand physics. It took time for me to understand that complex numbers indicate rotation and that sin( ) is a measure of how much perpendicular two objects/forces/influences are. This book is a compilation of all such examples using relevant images.

The development of mathematical competence -- both by humans as a species over millennia and by individuals over their lifetimes -- is a fascinating aspect of human cognition. This book explores when and why the rudiments of mathematical capability first appeared among human beings, what its fundamental concepts are, and how and why it has grown into the richly branching complex of specialties that it is today. It discusses whether the ‘truths’ of mathematics are discoveries or inventions, and what prompts the emergence of concepts that appear to be descriptive of nothing in human experience. Also covered is the role of esthetics in mathematics: What exactly are mathematicians seeing when they describe a mathematical entity as ‘beautiful’? There is discussion of whether mathematical disability is distinguishable from a general cognitive deficit and whether the potential for mathematical reasoning is best developed through instruction. This volume is unique in the vast range of psychological questions it covers, as revealed in the work habits and products of numerous mathematicians. It provides fascinating reading for researchers and students with an interest in cognition in general and mathematical cognition in particular. Instructors of mathematics will also find the book’s insights illuminating.
