I - The Speed Math Bible
I'm quite sure we could all agree about a fact:
the traditional way to teach
mathematics has a lot of structural problems,
and in most of cases it doesn't really
help students to get confident with the subject. In fact, too many students finish their
schooling still having a real "mathematical illiteracy", united with a
burning hatred of
everything concerning numbers and operations.
In particular, talking about classic method of teaching mathematics, I'm strongly of the
opinion that:
It's really poor incentive for individual creativity:
in fact, too many times
school will teach you that the proper method for performing a set of calculations
i s
"rigidly" one,
and that everything
should always be made in the same way.
This obviously can't do much more than
boring every student
and generating the
feeling that the matter itself, rather than improving one's mental skills, actually
shrinks them,
gradually transforming him/her into something that's more
similar to an industrial machine.
This book, however, is designed to go far beyond this restricted vision and will
teach you that the classic approach is not the only possible approach and that
every set of mathematical calculations can be transformed into a deeply
creative challenge.
The idea of mathematical "trick" is unjustly "demonised":
very few people
know that they could perform very complex calculations
just by using
extraordinarily rapid and effective numerical tricks.
And although it's widely accepted that learning the right balance between tricks
and rigour, creativity and structure, quick solutions and harder solutions would
be ideal for any student, schools usually continue to prefer following a
"complexity at all costs" that of course does not nothing but
alienating
people
from the matter.
It's promoted very little self-expression:
too many people feel that they have
"nothing to share" with some mathematical concepts even because the rigidity of
the taught method
prevents everyone from expressing himself according to his
talent, his wishes and his natural predispositions.
But this book presents a completely different approach, since everything among
its pages will be
deeply self-expression oriented,
and the methods shown here
will teach you not just one, unquestionable method to solve everything, but will
give
you the freedom to act according to what you feel to be easier and more
compatible with your natural attitude.
It's promoted very little curiosity and "researching spirit":
math, as taught
from some very bad teachers, is presented as a grey and squared world, made of
endless repetitions and very few interesting things. But thanks to this book you
will start
an original journey through the singularities and the curiosities of
the numbers world
and you'll soon find out
how many interesting and beautiful
things are hidden into its deep harmony.
They speak very little about the real utility of mathematics:
beyond the
ability to calculate your restaurant bill in an instant, the enormous advantage you
will gain in every official test or exam, or the awesome progression of your
logical and deductive faculties, you will discover that
mathematics has
extraordinary strategic and creative applications
that will help you very often
in your everyday challenges, giving you that extra oomph in the administration of
your personal finance, your work, your studies, your health, your self-confidence
and your strategic intelligence when dealing with any kind of challenge.
Math is also vital engine and fuel for every little technological wonder in the
modern world. Computers and tablets could never exist today if two
mathematicians like John von Neumann and Alan Turing didn't write the
mathematical principles behind the first calculators. Internet would never have
existed if no one had developed the mathematical principles the networks theory
is based on. And the search engines and social networks could never be born
without the equations and algorithms allowing each user to track, retrieve and
organize documents, web pages and profiles directly from a set of chaotic data.
Moreover, the inventors of Google and revolutionaries of the modern world,
Larry Page and Sergey Brin,
are both graduates in mathematics.
What I'm trying to tell with this? Well, I'm not sure that every reader of this book
will end up founding the new Google, but I'm sure that a greater mathematics
competence in a world tuned on these frequencies can help each of us to be
more
a protagonist and less a bare spectator of it.
In other words, this book will not simply be a set of strategies for impressing someone
or increasing your academic performance, but will let you
start a journey through a
pleasant and intriguing path of personal growth,
along which you'll learn to be more
effective, creative, confident and, why not, more intelligent.
In addition to that, I would like to give you a last advice:
do not immediately try to
learn every method explained here,
but go slowly, make notes, select the techniques
you like most and train yourself calmly and always taking your time. This will help
your mind to learn everything with much more ease and less effort.
Enough said: now I can't do anything but
wishing you all the best and, of course, to
enjoy your reading!
