• Archive: http://archive.is/2ML0Y How to be Smart at MathematicsFrom: Kenneth Williams, Mathematician and Veteran Math TeacherHi, I'm Kenneth Williams.After I finished my math teacher training in 1972, I settled into teaching mathematics in schools, a job I loved.There is nothing like seeing the look of understanding on students’ faces when they understand something they thought was difficult.I thought traditional school teaching would be my whole life.
• But one day my path took a whole different direction...New Techniques Change LivesA friend, who knew I was a mathematician, gave me a mathematics book as a present from India.Although the book was written in dense equations and technical language, I was able to understand exactly what the author was saying.This scholarly text contained the rudiments of a different and much easier way to think about various basic math techniques.So I began to experiment.
• I simplified some of the Indian methods in the book to make them more accessible to school students.Then I tested the techniques on the kids.
• The results were immediate...“Why Weren’t We Shown This Before?”I remember the look on the children’s faces when I showed them easier ways to solve arithmetic problems.Students discovered that many Indian techniques are far easier(and more natural) than the awkward and unnatural methods they had wrestled with since junior school.In my own time I studied more about Indian mathematics and became fascinated by developing this easier way of doing math.Now, Easier Math for EveryoneOver the years I’ve been fortunate enough to present my methods to help a wide range of audiences in many countries around the world.I’ve spoken to groups, from young children just starting out in arithmetic, to University students pursuing mathematics as a career.I gave extensive summer courses at Oxford University for a number of years.In 2006 I became an educational consultant to a teaching company setting up private math schools for children in the Far East.Since 2008 I have run this online training course, Math2020, teaching people around the world the easier ways to learn basic math skills.What Does All this Mean for You?It means this: Everyone can do mathematics.All that’s needed are the right techniques. And the “right” techniques are always the most natural and simplest ways to solve math problems.YOU can do math easily.
• And math IS easy – when you break lessons down into tiny steps.How You Can Train Yourself to Become Confident at MathematicsIntroducing the Math2020 Course...If you think all mathematics courses are the same, then you're in for pleasant surprise.Thanks to Math2020's unique blend of Eastern and Western math techniques, you now have available to you a clear and practical method to develop confident math skills fast.What has taken years in the past... you can now achieve in a few short months.Here are the 19 Essential Math Topics You'll Master Inside Math2020:Addition * Subtraction * Multiplication * Division * Exponents and Roots * Fractions * Decimals * Percentages * Geometry * Algebra * Trigonometry * Coordinate Geometry * Number Theory * Sequences * Ratio & Proportion * Place Value * Measurement * Statistics & Probability * Vectors *You get exactly 400 quick and easy lessons, all adding up to a comprehensive range of math skills.Now, I bet you are wondering:"Gee, where do I even BEGIN with all these math topics? I feel overwhelmed already!"Well, the truth is, you don't need to worry about anything.
