You Can Practically Steal These Simple Math Memory Tricks

If you've ever wanted to improve your ability to learn and memorize mathematical equations, formula, arithmetic, and numbers by 100% ... 200% ... 300% (or more) using simple skills you can learn in under an hour (or less), then this may be the most important book you will ever read.

How To Learn And Memorize Math With Proven Strategies

Guess what?

You're wasting time listening to the standard advice about learning math. You can't continue with "random acts of learning" as you study simple math, calculus and statistics formulas - at least not for long.

The truth is that learning math and remembering numbers can be incredibly simple. You just need to know how.

In How To Memorize Numbers, Equations And Simple Arithmetic, Anthony Metivier shows you everything you need to develop the right skills, the right mindset and the right dedicated memorization strategy for memorizing any number or equation. Plus you'll learn how to find the right tempo for studying math to match your background and personal interests.

The key to learning and memorizing math is to follow a model. You won't succeed without one. And your best bet is to supplement that math learning model with strong memory skills.

Want to Eliminate the Pain and Frustration of Learning Math?

Most of the suffering caused by learning math comes from "cognitive overload."

There is a way to remove this frustration from your life forever. And ...

... If There Is a Quick Fix - This Is It!

The information in this book will teach you:

  • Why memory techniques for math and numbers are like a bicycle everyone can ride (with some minor personal adjustments).
  • The real reason why no one should ever be squeamish about memorization or learning math.

Good points but very verbose

The book could have been 80% shorter without missing a single point. The same information is told over and over again and the topic is oversold to the point of it being ridiculous.

Furthermore, the narrator sounds like a computergenerated voice, with no variation or excitement. The guy sounds as exited as if he was reading the phonebook.

However, if you are patient enough to suffer thru it all, the main points of the book is valuable and can actually teach you how to remember better.

Good beginners guide for visualization techniques

This is another one of those books about how to memorize abstract concepts using visualization techniques. It wasn't bad, and it was short.

Essentially, the author teaches you to visualize the rooms of your home and link things in your home to mathematical formulas.

There are several other mnemonic techniques and several good tips throughout the book. I particularly enjoyed a section at the end that includes an interview with someone who uses the techniques and the different ways in which he uses them for different types of information.

It's not bad, but there are better versions of this type of book out there, but then again, they aren't as short. The narration was good, and the format of the book flowed well. It's just not the sort of book that was revelatory for me, but if you haven't heard of these types of techniques, it would be a good, quick, and inexpensive primer.

if you have one of his books you have them all.

It is not that his ideas are not useful, there are. He mentions many great memory techniques from many authors that are in pretty much any book on memory or a quick YouTube search away.
Then he gives HIS take on them, using that approach for the topic of the book.

example.

1. Cicero method or location method. what it is, how it works.
2. what would you like to remember? Maths? French?
3. Use 1 to attain your goals.
4. Tips from Tim Fenris, Dominic OBrian on how to review and not give up.
5. not working? you need to try harder. come on you can do it.

the end

If he has any other books please change 2. to the topic of your choice.

good luck.

Nothing new here

Nothing new here. Mostly refers to his web site. I'd like to return. Why do you need 15 words.

One Approach to memory.

I purchased twenty of Anthony Metivier's audiobooks and listen to his podcasts. To get the benefits of all of his ideas, you "ONLY" require. seven of his audiobooks and matching Kindle books many of which are free if you have a Kindle membership. And read the other reviews here, one of which breaks down the authors approach in his other books.

A wonderful piece of a larger system

This book will give you the tools you need in order to memorize and commit to memory any mathematical process or important logical concept. This can be read as a standalone text and teaching manual, but is more useful as part of his overall method. The audiobook includes a wonderful interview with a mathematician who uses this system skillfully as a beginner.

The “magnetic memory method“ is not simply a technique to learn a single Datapoint or equation. It is an entire system that includes proper principles, entire learning strategies, specific practice methods, useful practical techniques, a fascinating community, a teacher willing to answer questions, and even memory friends to support accountability.

A book like this can also be a wonderful entry point into the transformative study of the mind and its cultivation. So, buyer beware! For most of us, once you get started… It can be very difficult to stop!

He Gives the Listener His or Her Money’s Worth

The author definitely gives the listener his or her money’s worth. This presentation of the material on how to remember numbers and formulas is a little different from the rest of Metivier’s other books that focus on words and language. So, this is a great addition to the rest of his work. The audiobook ends with a recording of an interview with a mathematician in which the interviewee demonstrates his use of Metivier’s method of learning complicated formulas so he won’t have to look them up any more. I highly recommend this book.
