Think Fast with Vedic Math Secrets and Mental Calculation Tricks! When you read Fast Math, you’ll discover Vedic Math Techniques for mastering basic functions: Addition Subtraction Multiplication Division and so much more! With this fascinating guide, you can quickly and easily determine the square roots of perfect square numbers – and perform many other feats of mental gymnastics. These Vedic secrets mean you don’t have to memorize mathematical facts anymore. By grasping the inner workings of math structures, you can make sense of all kinds of numbers – without a calculator or a computer! The written addition most of us learn in school relies on simple and slow systems like “carry the 1” to get answers. There is an alternative – Vedic math moves at the speed of thought. Instead of summing columns and moving from right to left, Vedic math starts on the left. Add the largest numbers in your head, remember this figure, sum the smaller numbers – and then just total the figures in your head! By holding numbers in your head while calculating others, you strengthen your working/short-term memory. This mental sharpness pays off in all parts of your life – from remembering names to articulating your thoughts more clearly.

INTRODUCTION Now–a -days speed math system ( like Vedic Mathematics , Trachtenberg System) are gaining widespread popularity among students as well as teachers. Speed math refers to faster methods and techniques to solve arithmetic calculation mentally. It saves considerable amount of time in competitive exam. So it is worthy to study speed math. In order to compute given calculation mentally, one need to recall right kind of specific method (shortcut) out of 1000's. Instead of doing so, i) Is it possible to compute any arithmetic operation (like addition, multiplication) quickly by using scientific approach ? ii) Is it possible to derive all methods in speed math by using unique principle ? iii) Is there any unique secret (principle) behind speed mathematics ? After researching speed math about 2-3 years, I realized that there is unique secret (principle) behind speed mathematics !! This book explains entire speed mathematics by using single principle and gives introduction to new number system called as global number system. It extends VM framework in some of the area like divisibility, n'th root.

" - Albert Einstein “ In my opinion, all things in nature occur mathematically.” ― René Descartes " Mathematical Knowledge adds vigour to the mind, free it from prejudices & superstition " - John Arbuthnot Some mathematician, I believe, has said that true pleasure lies not in the discovery of truth, but in the search for it." -Tolstoy "Mathematics is the queen of science, and arithmetic the queen of mathematics." - Carl Friedrich Gauss "Truth is ever to be found in the simplicity, and not in the multiplicity and confusion of things." - Isaac Newton ------------------------------ Generally, researcher invests its invaluable time on research. Research book in country like America etc are more than 200 $. Though some idea, concepts seems trivial , but understand that even it takes lot of time to invent / discover. Example - decimal value system may seems simple to us, but it takes thousands of year to our ancient sages to invent the symbol for numbers & decimal value system. In true sense, researcher can understand the significance of other research, because it knows value of time that other researcher invest. This book is result of many years research. The price of book doesn't reflect value of time invested. Still by considering readers comment, price of book is changed. Now reader can enjoy the book at lower price.

This book brings the techniques from Vedic Mathematics and Trachtenberg System together. We have not attempted to do a comparative study of these techniques and make a judgment on which one is better. Instead we have simply, presented the techniques in a sequence that makes most sense. There are inherent strengths in these two approaches. While looking at all the speed improvement techniques, we have ensured that we focus on techniques for defect prevention and error minimization as well. Speed coupled with improved accuracy must be our paramount focus during any problem solving process. This book attempts to elucidate several key techniques, examples and practice problem sets.
