Miracle Math How to Develop a Calculator

Rating:
Summary: Wonderful
Review: For someone who is pained by the very thought of math, I found this book such a relief! It truly teaches very simple techniques to quicken and ease the practice of math. Frankly I'm kind of annoyed that this book was available when I was in grammar school, but I was taught math using the old tired and tedious methods we all know and hate. This book was published in 1966 and should have augmented, if not outright replaced, many math books in every classroom. This book should be a perennial bestseller. Even if you're a math whiz, this book will make you an even greater whiz. Even if you only use a sliver of what this book teaches (which I doubt!) it will still be worth your time and expense many times over. God bless Harry Lorayne!! I can not recommend this book enough!!

Summary: 0-9 Brain Calculator
Review: How does a digital calculator perform calculation? How does an abacus perform calculation? Now, how does our brain perform calculation? It's a combination of the analogies Abacus and digital calculator. The author creatively embarks on this very principle to trigger our minds calculating power. It requires concentration and dedication to follow the examples in this book. As in any achievable skill, it requires practice and more practice.

Summary: Excellent book, actually makes math fun
Review: This book taught me methods to solving math problems quickly and easily. I have owned it for many years, but still refer back to it. The author explains each step in detail, in simple to understand instructions. I recommend this book to anyone, especially if you have to take mathematical, timed aptitude tests. It's actually a joy to read.
