Ten-year old Truman Henry Safford (born 1836) was
asked:
“Multiply in your head
365,365,365,365,365,365
by
365,365,365,365,365,365.”
He flew around the room like
a top, pulled his pantaloons
over the top of his boots,
bit his hand, rolled his
eyes in their sockets,
sometimes smiling and
talking, and then seeming to
be in an agony, until, in not more
than one minute, said he,
“133,491,850,208,566,925,016,658,299,941,583,225!”
‘Lightning calculators’, are not that uncommon and
while we may not be able to match the brilliance of a
Truman Henry Safford, we can all develop, with the
aid of this book, a talent at mental mathematics.
With these super-easy methods you need no longer be

caught between the drudgery of the old dinosaur methods
and the ‘cop-out’ of the calculator. When Bharati
Krsna Tirthaji reconstructed the ancient system of
Vedic Maths (used in this book) earlier this century, he
uncovered a beautifully integrated and complete system
of maths which had been lost for centuries. The
Vedic system mirrors the way the mind naturally works
and so is designed to be done mentally.
Fun with Figures is for those who think they are no
good at maths – and for those who are good at
maths. It is for those who would like to steal a little
lightning. The book answers a need of our time,
offering easy, enjoyable maths which improves mental
agility and memory, promotes confidence and creativity
– as well as being useful in everyday life.
Each double page shows a simple mathematical
method and is independent of the others (with two
exceptions, which are indicated). In addition to the
various everyday situations indicated in this book,
you will surely find many other occasions for the use
of these easy methods. There are many exercises for
you to practise and answers at the end of the book.
