A math book by a non-savant! More than a re-hash of existing material, much original content. Learn Vedic sutras, mental math, algebra, conversions & more! Can you multiply these numbers in your head: 98x82, 106x97, 612x714, 78x216? Could you cube 16 mentally, or look at 828 & know it can be broken into 9x92? You will be able to do this & more after reading this book! Become a craftsman with numbers, don't use the same grade school methods for everything. One size does not fit all! This book is geared toward the student that has tried to learn math conventionally, knows they are missing something, but can't say for sure what it is. The book does not treat math, algebra, arithmetic, & even calculus as individual subjects not much related to each other. This book will tie these topics together and fascinate as well. Math will be your best subject once you catch the enthusiasm of this book!
I'm not a math person. I stopped at pre-algebra in high school, and took basic math in college only because it was required.
This book was made for people like me. Carlin takes complicated math and makes it easy to understand--even enjoyable. This unique math book is especially helpful for the tips it gives for doing math in your head.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading it, and will keep it as a reference if I find the need for more complex math problems.
