Summary: the best speed math book i've yet found
Comment: This book should be used to teach children mathematics in our schools. The concepts are simple and clearly described.
Unlike math i learned in grade school you only need to know addition up to 10 and the multiplication table to 9 times.
It is the first unified speed math concept book that teaches a fast way to do mental calculations without memorizing a multitude of various rules for specific mathematical situations.
After reading this, i have stopped searching for any further speed math books because i doubt any could compare.

Rating: 3
Summary: VERY INTERESTING HISTORICALLY
Comment: but somewhat out of date. Stoddard attempts to apply abacus methods to mental calcualation. I found this book fun reading but a more practical book covering the same ground is Handley's SPEED MATHEMATICS.

Rating: 5
Summary: Shocking!
Comment: To find out that everything you were taught in school about arithmetic was the slow dumb way to do it is a slap in the face. If you can handle that and are willing to have and open mind about it, this is the book for you. I have to say the methods are very different from what you learned, but it still builds apon the knowledge you already have about basic math. You must work at it though, simply reading will not help much. However if you follow the instructions you will exponentially increase your speed and without having to think about it as much as your use to. I am not much of a math person and I found the results very surprising. Buy it, period.
