Experience your Aha Moment Now!

Arrgh!!!
Well! If this is your reaction upon hearing the word "MATH",
you are not alone. You too are part of that ever increasing
family which loves to hate it.
I'd like to quote Thomas Friedman - The World Is Flat. It
indeed is. (And Oh, I don't want to offend the geography and
science people.) We are all on a level playing field when
it comes to Math. It has always been the pet-peeve of most
of us.
Do you still remember the stories in the Reader where the
valiant hero fights with the tiger? Interesting, weren't
they? The only difference (though a major one) between Math
and the other subjects is that Math is not a spectator sport.
You need to jump into the arena and face the tiger yourself.
Thank God, you don't take things literally in Math!)
But you can afford to forget the fairytales, not Math.
Ranging from algebra to probability, all of it is needed at
some point in time. Ok, I agree you don't need binomial e
quation to arrive at the expenses of your groceries, but you
certainly need a little bit of arithmetic.
But how wonderful it would be when you utter out the results
of lengthy calculations even before your friend who is busy
punching numbers in the calculator.
Let's try to put in words (rather numbers) what I am talking
about. Can we find out how much is 35 x 45? Sure, we can! Or
else what are calculators made up for? But here I meant can
we mentally find out the answer.
So, give it a try. Are you reaching out for the calculator?
In case you are, then let me tell you. There's no need,
really. Take my word. But how to find the answer in a jiffy?
If you ever have to multiply two numbers ending in 5 that
are at a difference of 10 from each other, use this simple
method.Multiply the ten's digit of one number with 1 added to
ten's digit of the second number. Sounds all Greek?
Let me explain.
In 35 x 45, take 3 (ten's digit of first number) and 1 + 4
(ten's digit of the second number) and multiply them.
We get
3 x [ 1 + 4 ] = 3 x 5 = 15
These become the first two digits of your answer. To arrive
at the last two digits, just write 75 at the end.
So you get 1575 as the answer!
And now you can rush to grab your calculator and verify it.
Checked? Stupefied? Yes, it indeed is the right answer and
it always works.
Let's take up another example
65 x 75 = ?
Using the same trick,
6 x [ 1 + 7 ] = 6 x 8 = 48
Writing 75 at the end of it, we get 4875 and that's what you
get after multiplying 65 and 75!
Not mere arithmetic calculations, (algebra, geometry,
trigonometry etc included) Math is fun. The only requirement
is to learn and practice it the right way. Math is not at
all a draconian subject; it just needs to be treated well.
Learning the new and simpler way will turn that awful
"Arrgh" into the "Aha" moment.
