Rapid Math Tricks & Tips Edward H. Julius - canada wiley publication 1992 - 229p
Rapid Math Tricks & Tips: 30 Days To Number Power is a compendium of math tricks to turn even the most number-phobic person into a math whiz. This book gives people some of the most interesting and effective cheat codes in mathematics.
Summary of The Book
No matter how much some people practice mathematics, it simply is not what they are good at. The moment a number appears, their brains freeze and panic seeps in. Also, the fact that most schools try to overcome this problem by drilling formulae and methods into the heads of students just makes matters worse.
Rapid Math Tricks & Tips: 30 Days To Number Power provides many interesting tricks to solve common math problems much faster than otherwise possible. The book provides a detailed explanation of everything that goes into solving problems. It provides two midterm tests and one final exam to test whether or not the reader has fully understood the various methods given.
The best part of this book is that it not only gives readers the chance to learn tricks, but it makes these tricks fun and interesting to learn by adding two entertaining sections to the book, namely Mathematical Curiosities and Parlor Tricks. These two little additions make all the difference since they set the book apart from any other math textbook and make it palatable to both math experts and novices.
