So if you come back later, you might no longer be able to get this for free. So absorb this page completely until the very end while you still can. Deal?

Dont Just Look Like A Genius - Be One.

Walk with me for a moment as we imagine you waking up tomorrow being able to do lightning fast math in your head.

Your family and friends are going to look at you like you are some kind of a genius. Since calculations are done in your head, you would have acquired better memory habits in the process, and your concentration and your ability to think quickly would have also improved.
So you will not just look like a genius. You will actually be one.

You know what the best part is?

Within the next 7 days, you will start thinking like a genius. This will in turn start to positively influence other areas of your life.

First, I must tell you why we find it so difficult to do math in our head.

School Taught You The Wrong Way To Do Math

We use so much of our working memory when we do math the way we havebeen taught in school. Working memory is the short term memory required for you to complete a task. Think of it like the RAM of your computer.

Doing math in our head the way we havebeen taught in school, overloads our working memory, slowing down our brain like an over loaded computer.

We end up struggling with even the basic math skills we have otherwise mastered.

Stop Doing Math The Way You Have Been Taught In SchoolThe way you havebeen taught math in school is what slows you down, I will show you what I mean with an example:

Try to multiply the 73201 x 3.

1 x 3 =

0 x 3 =

2 x 3 =

3 x 3 =

7 x 3 =

This is an easy multiplication problem and in fact it would only take most people seconds to multiply the individual numbers. However to get the final answer, you need to remember every single digit you calculated so far to put them together.
You might even end up multiplying again because you forgot one of the numbers. So it might take quite a bit of effort to get the answer of the multiplication. Mental math will become a whole lot easier if you didnt have to use so much of your working memory.
In school, we havebeen taught to write down the numbers on a paper to free up working memory. But there is another way, and I will show you that in a moment.

Imagine when we tried to multiply 73201 x 3, if you could have come up with the answer in the time it took you to multiply the individual numbers. Wouldnt you have solve the problem faster than the time it takes you to punch in the numbers inside a calculator? I will show you how to do that in a moment, so keep reading.
A Weird Trick to Calculate Faster

Before we get into the actual method of calculating in your head fast without writing anything down, I need to tell you about a weird trick that made me go from hating math to making math my full time job.

When we try to do math, we sometimes have sweaty palms, feel nervous and find it hard to concentrate. This phenomenon is called math anxiety and it will only slow you down. Most of us suffer from math anxiety of various degrees.
You might think you are anxious about math, because you are bad at it. But its often the other way around. You are doing poorly in math, because you are anxious about it.
Math anxiety decreases your working memory. Worrying about being able to solve a math problem, eats up working memory leaving less of it available to tackle the math itself. So you can struggle with even basic math skills like arithmetic that you have otherwise mastered.
Your new math super power is not going to make you a super hero unless you relax. If you ever feel math anxiety, take a few deep breaths and you will actually be able to do the math faster. Use the knowledge about how your working memory works to create a mindset where you enjoy doing math.
See math as a challenge that will expand the limits of your intelligence. Do this and you will increase your mental math calculation speed even further.
Can you see yourself not only doing math fast but also enjoying yourself being a mental math super hero?

Do The Opposite Of What You Have Been Taught In School

Ok, remember what I told you earlier about how the way we havebeen taught math in school requires us to remember a lot of numbers?

The secret of doing mental math fast in your head is to do the OPPOSITEof what you have been in taught in school. This is called the LR Method.

Let me tell you, if you do not do this, any trick you can possibly learn to do mental math, will really be useless. This secret is like the rocket fuel for your mental math skill. Everything else just builds on top of this.
This works so well because it frees your working memory almost completely. You will be using the absolute minimum amount of working memory.
LR stands for Left to Right.

The secret of doing mental math is to calculate from left to right instead of from right to left. This is the opposite of what you havebeen taught in school.

Lets try to do the earlier example where we multiplied 73201 x 3.

This time multiply from left to right, so we get

7 x 3 = 21

3 x 3 = 9

3 x 2 = 6

0 x 3 = 0

3 x 1 = 3

Notice that you started to call out the answer before you even finished the whole multiplication problem.
You dont have to remember a thing to recall and use later. So you end up doing math a lot faster.
In our example, we used a one digit multiplier 3. Imagine calculating with the same speed for more complex numbers like two and three digit multipliers eg (73201 x 38 or 73201 x 432). Imagine doing addition, subtraction and division with the same speed.
Let me tell you that this is as ridiculously simple as multiplying using the LR method.

You have two choices in front of you:

Option 1 - You could use what you learnt about calculating from left to right and apply it to every math problem you solve in the future.

It might not be very easy to figure out how to do this in every situation and you might find

Very easy and straight forward to learn. I am impressed with how simple this is with a little practice and being open minded to look at doing math in a different way.

By Bhargav Bhimana on 7/17/2020

I am able to figure out where exactly I am facing problem with the calculations.
Eg: Remembering the numbers for next steps, Small addition is taking time etc.
This helped me clearly understand where to fix my math skills. Overall, I am lot confident to pick up my competitive exam training which I used feel nervous about.

so far good, let me dip more

By Jeffrey Torres on 11/7/2019

I am really good at mental math because of all the practice I have done preparing for Case Interviews. I took this course because I had an interview with Bain.
I must say I learnt a whole new way to do math in my head.
Highly recommend this course if you want to get better at Mental Math.

By Dale Newberger on 10/18/2019

So far it's excellent, because there are tips and tricks I never knew existed in math.

By Judy W. Lee on 9/20/2019

I am a math teacher and I was a bit sceptical that I will learn anything new from this course.
Now that I have finished the course, I have realized that we have been teaching students the wrong way to do math for centuries.
The things I have learnt in this course, I will definitely take into the classroom.

By Cherice P. on 9/9/2019

This course is eye opening. I'm really excited to finish and continue practicing so this becomes natural for me!

By Ivan Alek on 9/7/2019

I am 80 years old and I am trying to keep my brain as active as possible. My wife is suffering from dementia and I dont want to end up in the same way if I can help it.
I am about half way through the course and I am finding it amazing. Schools dont teach this method and its a shame.

By Matthew Bramall on 8/27/2019

The ability to easily solve maths problems in your head,
Very few rules, but complicated ones. Highly recommended

By Susie Santiago on 7/21/2019

I was really worried about the amount of time and effort it would take for me to master the techniques taught in this course. Afterall it is a math course and I am terrible at math.
But learning all the techniques was as easy as watching a few YouTube Video.
After some practice I was doing math in my head faster than I ever dreamed was possible.
