Out of print in the U.S. and no ebook version offered. *Update* I think the newer version in the U.S. is called Secrets of Mental Math and it is available.
1:37 NOOOOOICE.
It is copy of Vedic Mathematics which originated from India.
"I'm looking at you, Mr. Beckett." Hilarious!
I love your content!! Could you make a video about the science behind cognitive improvement through physical exercise? 😊😊😊
1:17 yes I can I had learnt in high school
does it have anything on percentages too or its focused on regular calculations
It is all Vedic maths approach developed in India many centuries back.
I bought this book as per your review in the last video! Hopefully i will be able to help my kids with math when the time comes 😅

If their test has the specific pattern of multiply by 11, or square number ending in 5, then may help. Otherwise won’t help.

@@random19911004yeah but he just showed these two tricks in the video. I assume that the book contains more general cases and different examples
thank you for being such a reliable source of fun and learning!
Make video about Google NoteBook LM. I believe it will be the new way of interacting with books (conversational learning )
@3:15 Right I think I know how that works (54x10)+54 = 540 +54 , so the 5 and 4 moved apart and inserted with 5+4. Awesome!
These are tricks that work on specific use cases ( multiply by 11 or square ending in 5 ). So nice trick, but doesn’t generalise. Learning a ton of tricks to deal with individual cases is not much better than just calculating it the “standard way” I assume they can be proved by expanding a number in its digit expansion e.g. xyz =100x+10y+z and then doing algebra , expanding brackets, collecting terms etc

Hi sir book vs online tutorial which one is best for programming
Quick question about your "Learn Python from Scratch" free class on Udemy: In Course content 1.5 String Methods, you did my_string.count ('a'). It returned 3. There were 4 "a" though. Was that because it only recalled lower case or was it recalling from zero indexing?
It is most unfortunate that this book is SO outrageously expensive on Amazon.

From experience, don't get stop even if it is difficult. You should draw out the set of steps of your programs, you do it using pseudo code and diagrams. And remember it's what effort that gets you from point A to B. Use every resource out there, even chat got but tell you explain the code. Why does it work. Perseverance and effort is what makes you learn anything. Stay at it don't give up
What I have found is that the things I have to remember for these quick math tricks are a million times more than just normal slow formulas that we learn in our schools. I have very little space in my brain to remember all these tricks so I go slow.
isn't this a re-upload?

Just a suggestion - in case you are not aware. You may try Trachtenberg system of speed maths - one of the most oldest & famous book for speed maths calculations. Maybe, easily available on the net in pdf too! Even Vedic maths books are also stuffed with speed & mental math techniques.

To KZreadR, please check out what is Vedic Matnematics, this andmany more such tricks are directly copied from there. You Can also make a video on it. video idea.!!!! make a video comparing this book and few vedic techniques.
There are lots and lots of math shortcut books, for exercising your brain. Sorry, I won't bother with this one. My favorite, and I use these techniques frequently after generating & printing random arithmetic drills, is Miracle Math by Harry Lorayne The techniques coordinates Pen & Paper & Brain. It's relaxing and enjoyable, when you become skilled at it.

"Mathematics" is commonly shortened to "maths" in UK English, "math" in US English. I don't know of any historical or logical reason for the difference; that's just the way people got in the habit of doing it.
I think, This is just Arithmetics. This is not maths. Most Arithmetics experts would be zero in maths. Following are some of the Math Topics : # Integral Calculus # Differential equations # Coordinate geometry # Permutations and Combinations # Logarithms # Abstract Algebra # Probability # Set theory and Logic # Topology # Category theory # Matrices and Determinants # Functions
Try Vedic mathematics.
Mental arithmetic...I still shudder to think of Friday mornings in Grade 5. I'd walk to school dry retching with terror, because the beastly nun would haul kids at random to stand in front of the class while she fired off questions at them. Stuff like " A cwt of potatoes cost £5/6/8, so how many lbs do I need to sell to make an 87% profit?" You wouldn't get more than a minute. Failure to answer meant you were thrashed. So wonder I loathe maths.
This guy is all marketing and no action. He didn't even both to show the book properly

So the issue is not to stop using your calculator. It's keeping your mind sharp(er) as you grow older. Or in other words: Use it or loose it. Doing math on a daily basis (with your mind, not calculator) is one way of doing it.

Most of the rapid calculation tricks and techniques that I've seen are the kind of thing that could be reinvented or rediscovered many times, without having to be "stolen" from other sources.
Why do you deel that school should teach tricks for calculations? Schools teach a technique by which one can do any multiplication. Mathematics is not ability to do 5 digit calculations in head, thats just calculations.
