Best way to learn fast mental arithmetic?

We Answered:

There is a book titled "Rapid Math Tricks and Tips" by Edward H. Julius. The ISBN# 0-471-57563-1 and the UPC#9780471-575634. It came out in '92 so I'm sure that there aren't any new copies available. You can look it up online, find it at the library, or find a used bookstore in your area that may carry it. It is an awesome books with all types of tips on how to do easy and difficult math problems in your head. Hope you find it.
