Secrets of Mental Math
Simple Math Tips That Will Forever Change The Way You Look at Numbers
Can you solve these five problems in your head in one minute?
Mental math involve arithmetical calculations using only the human brain, with no help from calculators or computers. The actual calculations are done in the head, and answers are normally recited or written left-to-right.
People frequently use mental calculation when it is faster or more convenient than other means of calculation (using computing tools like calculators or abacus, or using conventional methods as taught in school), or in a competitive context. Mental math often involves the use of techniques devised for specific types of problems.
There are numerous "schools" of mental math, Trachtenberg Speed Math, Indian Vedic Math, Chinese Mental Abacus and Korean Chisenbop. but they pretty much rely on the same algebraic principles taught using various techniques. They differ mainly in the ways they teach the student how to visualize the technique and remember the rules. For example, Vedic math is based on sixteen cryptic sutras for dealing with mathematical problems.

Mathemagicians
If it can not be explained, it must be magic!
The name "mathemagician" was probably first applied to popular math and science writer Martin Gardner, who specialized in recreational mathematics. It has since been used to describe many mathematician/magicians who exhibit amazing feats of mental calculation and mathematics, including Arthur T. Benjamin and Max Maven.
Some say many mathematicians become magicians because proving theorems is similar to inventing magic tricks. Many self-working mentalism tricks rely on mathematical principles.
But like most skills, what appears to be magic or "natural genius" is nothing more than technique. With the right techniques taught in the right order, just about anyone can learn the ancient art of "mental math" and acquire confident calculation skills.
Mental math is easier to learn than you might believe. All you really need are a few basic principles to jumpstart your adventure to mathemagic!
