The Trachtenberg Speed System Of Basic Mathematics By Jakow Trachtenberg
The Trachtenberg system is a system of rapid. The system consists of a number of readily memorized operations that allow one to perform arithmetic computations very quickly.
The Trachtenberg Speed System of Basic Mathematics is a system of mental speed math, created over 70 years ago, which can improve your math ability. Author Jakow Trachtenberg. Children, who had repeatedly failed in arithmetic until their parents sent them to learn this method, were able to perform amazing.
It was developed by the Russian Jewish engineer in order to keep his mind occupied while being held in a. The rest of this article presents some methods devised by Trachtenberg. Bo Hansson Lord Of The Rings Rar. The most important algorithms are the ones for general multiplication, division and addition. [ ] Also, the Trachtenberg system includes some specialized methods for multiplying small numbers between 5 and 13.
The chapter on addition demonstrates an effective method of checking calculations that can also be applied to multiplication. 2 Finger method Trachtenberg called this the 2 Finger Method. The calculations for finding the fourth digit from the example above are illustrated at right. The arrow from the nine will always point to the digit of the multiplicand directly above the digit of the answer you wish to find, with the other arrows each pointing one digit to the right. Each arrow head points to a UT Pair, or Product Pair.
The vertical arrow points to the product where we will get the Units digit, and the sloping arrow points to the product where we will get the Tens digits of the Product Pair. If an arrow points to a space with no digit there is no calculation for that arrow. As you solve for each digit you will move each of the arrows over the multiplicand one digit to the left until all of the arrows point to prefixed zeros. An example of the algorithm multiplying numbers represented as variable length ASCII strings is shown below in C++. Setting up for Division Division in the Trachtenberg System is done much the same as in multiplication but with subtraction instead of addition. Splitting the dividend into smaller Partial Dividends, then dividing this Partial Dividend by only the left-most digit of the divisor will provide the answer one digit at a time.
As you solve each digit of the answer you then subtract Product Pairs (UT pairs) and also NT pairs (Number-Tens) from the Partial Dividend to find the next Partial Dividend. The Product Pairs are found between the digits of the answer so far and the divisor. If a subtraction results in a negative number you have to back up one digit and reduce that digit of the answer by one. With enough practice this method can be done in your head. • Trachtenberg, Jakow (1960). The Trachtenberg Speed System of Basic Mathematics. Translated by A.
