    Math tricks on how to do basic and next level up math skills in a very different way than the west is taught.

    As a math undergrad student I can tell you that if it doesn’t involve sitting down and thinking about it with pen and paper for a few hours it’s at best math related entertainment. No useful skills will be remembered.

      As a professional that has completed multiple years of calculus, discrete math, etc, that isn’t true. If you’re doing real math, you’re sitting down and doing it.

      Most of daily adult math is 1st grader level addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. The tricks are for basics for children that you use as an adult.
