√連續自然數　√三位數加減　√幾何圖乘法 √聯立方程式　√完全立方數　√純循環小數 寫數學考卷，看到複雜題組先不要自暴自棄！ 1＋1＝2沒有人會逃避，現在就教你把公式通通容易化！ 這麼神奇的算法，為什麼以前老師都沒有教？ ▎用「網格法」算乘法，多位數一目了然 （1）以兩位數乘法為例，把被乘數和乘數分別拆分成整十數和個位數，寫在網格的上方和左方。 （2）對應的數相乘，將乘積寫在格子裡。 （3）將所有格子填滿之後，計算它們的和，即為結果。 ▎印度驗算法，省去再算一次的時間 首先需要定義一個方法N（a），它的目的是將一個多位數轉化為一個個位數。它的運算規則如下：①如果a是多位數，那麼N（a）就等於N（這個多位數各位上數字的和）；②如果a是個一位數，那麼N（a）＝a；③如果a是負數，那麼N（a）＝（a＋9）；④N（a）＋N（b）＝a＋b，N（a）－N（b）＝a－b，N（a）×N（b）＝a×b。 有了這個定義，我們就能對加減乘法進行驗算了（除法不適用）。 ▎五指神助攻！一位數與9相乘的手算法 （1）伸出雙手，並列放置，手心對著自己。 （2）從左到右的10根手指分別編號為1～10。 （3）計算某個數與9的乘積時，只需將編號為這個數的手指彎曲起來，然後數彎曲的手指左邊和右邊各有幾根手指即可。 （4）彎曲手指左邊的手指數為結果的十位數字，彎曲手指右邊的手指數為結果的個位數字，這樣就可以輕鬆得到結果。 〔本書特色〕 速算不只能強化加減乘除的運算能力，還包括平方、立方、開方、分數、方程式以及方程組的簡易計算方法。速算可以在很大程度上幫助學生輕鬆駕馭數學，建立自信心，開闊思路，擴展思維方式，讓頭腦更加靈活。本書透過實例詳細介紹了數十種數學運算的速算祕訣，並在每節後面附上練習題，保證讓讀者一看就懂，一點就通。
