Holy crap, I must of been looking at a different book from his. Strange. Thanks though, ill go order that now :) Has anyone read it? is it just for 5th graders teaching basic math?

Mainly large multiplication - 3943 x 94 , 12 x 385, and so on for a start.

Hey Have you read Trachtenberg's book? Can you tell me a little about it, before I drop $90 on it :) ? Thanks!

Hey Yea thought so :) I don't mean I want to do the calculation in my head in 5 seconds, just being able to do large multiplication calculations in my head you know. I thought I seen once a website that had a program that can teach you to do large multiplication calculations...hmmm...

I was thinking it would be a good idea if this forum has a little sub-forum for financial math or financial engineering? We could include algorithms, and advanced models and a whole bunch of things that are related to financial math. I have the credentials to mod it, but of course don't...

Hey I think it is because this country (USA and Canada:) ) has grown to love money and possession. You give people an option of spending over 4 to 8 years in school taking physics - maybe longer - and at the end of it, you get maybe 50k starting out, or spend the same amount of time in school...

Hey Great post! Thank you :)

Hey Thanks for that article, good read! Geez, I think Putin wants the cold war back in light of recent events

Hey Thanks Morbius for clearing up the BALONEY :) Does Russia still make nuclear weapons?

Hey Yea, we are making more bombs like SRAM-T, insted of the megaton nukes that were created in the cold war. I read a journal that stated the USA still has Nuclear missiles locked onto Russia and vice versa. Does anyone think we will see a nuclear exchange in our life time?
