How To Become A Human Calculator?: With The Magic Of Vedic Maths

This is a great system if you are at all interested in improving your concentration. I was awed that there is such a radical way to see something in such a different (and better) way! How many more concepts and believes do I have that can use such revision? AMAZING!!!!! It awakened my desire to examine my current way of believing, thinking, and doing! I hope it does the same for you. BUY IT!! GOOD LUCK!

This book approaches math from the Vedic (or Hindu) tradition. It is presumably a quicker and easier way to solve problems. In many cases it is, but often, the method can be more difficult (and time-consuming) than the regular way to calculate. This book covers the typical math operations (for example, addition, subtraction, division), but also fractions, square roots, and cubes. It is unusual that the title, which is a statement (How to Become a Human Calculator) is expressed as a question.Vedic math deals with very large numbers (like multiplying times 9999) and I've wondered, how often will you ever do that? You'd certainly not use it with a grocery list or to balance a checkbook. To me, taking a number, subtracting 1, then subtracting 9999 is cumbersome. So, will you be a "human calculator" with this book? Likely not.I like "speed math" books because they actually make math fun and interesting. As someone who struggled with math in school, anything that can make math enjoyable is well worth it.

I have really taken to the Vedic methods of math. Ingenious stuff. Recommended if you want to calculate faster. I have worked most of the problems in this book. I found it fun with a challenge.

I had already developed a number of mental calculation skills but I learned a few more tricks with this book.
