Example text

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 is "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.

But another example of extension of the possible applications of the Sutra could be in using it to find the difference between a number and the power of 10 having one more zero than its amount of digits. So, for example you can use it to calculate 1000 - 28, 10 000 - 345 or 100 000 - 6 432. In that case, in fact, you will just have to: Apply the Sutra to the subtrahend. Add to the result a number made up of a 9 and as many trailing zeroes as the amount of digits of the subtrahend itself (and so, for example, 900 if the subtrahend has two digits, 9000 for three digits, and so on).

Just keep the right attitude, respect your brain, train your memory and strengthen your basis ... you'll enhance your skills in ways you could never believe. And this is just the beginning! IV - The finger calculator Everybody knows that one can perform little additions simply by using his or her fingers. It's one of the first things that they taught us in the school, after all, isn't it? But did you know that, by using your fingers, you could perform even some very ... simple multiplications? If, for example, you have a shocking blackout during a complex calculation, and you can't remember a specific multiplication table, you can use two awesome tricks that will make you able to instantly perform a lot of possible single-digit multiplications.
