Synopsis
Can you multiply 362 x .5 quickly in your head? Could you readily calculate the square of 41? How much is 635 divided by 21/2? Can 727,648 be evenly divided by 8? If any of these questions took you more than a few seconds to solve, you need this book. Short-Cut Math is a concise, remarkably clear compendium of about 150 math short-cuts -- timesaving tricks that provide faster, easier ways to add, subtract, multiply, and divide. By using the simple foolproof methods in this volume, you can double or triple your calculation speed -- even if you always hated math in school. Here's a sampling of the amazingly effective techniques you will learn in minutes: Adding by 10 Groups; No-Carry Addition; Subtraction Without Borrowing; Multiplying by Aliquot Parts; Test for Divisibility by Odd and Even Numbers; Simplifying Dividends and Divisors; Fastest Way to Add or Subtract Any Pair of Fractions; Multiplying and Dividing with Mixed Numbers, and more. The short-cuts in this book require no special math ability. If you can do ordinary arithmetic, you will have no trouble with these methods. There are no complicated formulas or unfamiliar jargon -- no long drills or exercises. For each problem, the author provides an explanation of the method and a step-by-step solution. Then the short-cut is applied, with a proof and an explanation of why it works. Students, teachers, businesspeople, accountants, bank tellers, check-out clerks -- anyone who uses numbers and wishes to increase his or her speed and arithmetical agility, can benefit from the clear, easy-to-follow techniques given here., Clear, concise compendium of about 150 time-saving math short-cuts features faster, easier ways to add, subtract, multiply, and divide.

- g***o (42)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThis seller is amazing! Communication was so clear! Actually made my order so much easier!! The items were packaged absolutely perfect!! I have never had an item packaged so well to insure my items were delivered safely!! I would definitely order from her again !! Great service!!!Mikasa Dinner Plate silver trim Narumi Japan 5428 (#116711512396)
- l***a (20)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseOrdered new CD. It was packed in a box cushioned with bubble wrap, so it was safely packed -- good! The problem for me was that I have a PO box and the box wouldn't fit (usually CDs are packed in padded envelopes and would fit). So, I had to go to the post office when it was open, delaying my time in actually receiving the package since I only go to the post office once a week and it came the day after my last trip. The seller shipped it promptly and the item was in the condition described.Hope Will Rise by Warr Acres (CD) NEW (#116634356887)
- 6***e (67)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseGreat quality, condition, value and appearance. I admit I was concerned about the lack of bubble wrap since it was just in an envelope. there was some bubble wrap inside to protect the 2 discs from being crushed during shipping. It seemed to help. The disc I watched played fine. . I have not watched the bonus disc yet. Thank you for your quick shipping. I would purchase from you eBay store again. A++
