INTRODUCING SPEED MATH AND ITS ADVANTAGES
Posted by lazymaths on March 05, 2009
A number of people either dislike Math or are 'Math handicap' when it comes to solving everyday Math. Let's say, you go to Macy's and fall in love with that great dress with a retail price of $39.99. You are carrying a coupon of 25% off which you plan to use, so how much would the dress actually cost you (pre tax)?
Most people dread to do the calculation. They'd rather go to the cashier and ask her to ring up the dress and coupon to see what amount it costs now.
How about learning to do the same calculation - without needing any calculator, just using your brains and that too in under 5 seconds!
That's where Speed Math comes in. Speed Math is based on multiple techniques Mathematicians have developed and discovered over many years of Math research. Speed Math is primarily based on the Ancient India Mathematics called Vedic Maths made famous by a Hindu scholar and mathematician, Jagadguru Swami Sri Bharati Krishna Tirthaji Maharaja, during the early part of the 20th century. Another source of Speed Math is the Russian Mathematician Jakow Trachtenberg.
With speed math shortcuts, one can calculate everyday math problems with ease. Multiplying, Squaring, Dividing or Cubing numbers which are seemingly complex could be done in a matter of seconds without using any kind of calculator. Moreover, these shortcuts do away with complex and lengthy steps, so the chances of making mistakes during calculations are reduced and even eliminated.
Speed Math is not just for everyday shopping related calculations. Students planning to give any exam, from a 6th grade Math test to the Math Olympiad and everything in between would greatly benefit by learning the shortcuts. Particularly, students giving any competitive exams like the GMAT, GRE, SAT or ACT could see a significant jump in their scores by using these techniques while solving Quantitative questions.
The shortcut techniques of Speed Math can be easily learned when grouped together as one technique can be pretty close to another. So, if you master one, you can easily understand the other. Using this way of studying, the students can easily cover almost all the shortcuts.
