Cool math tricks!

Here are some neat math short-cuts that you can do in your head

142
213
+431

When you see a math problem like this, you were probably taught to add the right-most column first. Then the middle, then the left-most. But, doing it from left to right is actually much faster!

Start with the left column. 1+2+4 is 7. Keep 700 in your mind. Then add the middle column. 740 -> 750 -> 780. Then the last column. 782 -> 785 -> 786

See how much faster and quicker that was? :p

Here's another one:

346
473
+170

So, first add the left column. 8(00). Then the middle column. 180. Uh-oh, its more than 100. So add 100 to 800, and you're left with just 80. Now the last column: 989 is the final answer!



Here's one with multiplication:

24
x12

Now, do the right column. 2x4=8. Now, cross multiply 4x1, and 2x2, and add the sum together. which is 8. Now multiply The left column, 2x1. Which is 2. The answer is 288. Pretty cool huh? :wtf:

Here are some more problems to practice with. Check them with a calculator to see if you're right.

I went over to a friend's house, and his mother teaches math. :toothless

whoa. i'd rather just use a calculator. if you multiply any two digit number with 11 like

12
x
11

then it's just 1 + 2 inbetween 1 and 2. so 12x11 is 132 cuz 1 + 2 =3 and you just put the "3" inbetween the 1 and 2. 13x11 = 143, etc. I saw it on an infomercial once. gaah. i hate math.

I wish that was all there was to maths back in school, I could even handle algebra, it's the blasted trigonometry that raped my brain :(
Sunsnail
I'm sure there's someone else who likes math :wtf:

I know this is basic adding and subtracting, but it's faster than the conventional methods

Calculus, according to friends, is the hardest. From then on theories and everything else is easy to swallow.

1=1? How can one number be equal to another? I could never see that. Anyway, as you were.
Basstard
calculus is fuggin easy dont have any1 tell u anything different.

take 3x^2 (this means 3x to the power of 2)

if u differentiate this u get:

6x

take 4x^3

u get 12x^2

integration is just the reverse.

there - u know calculus!
