About the Book:
In todays increasingly complex and competitive world, the most important thing a parent can do for his/her child is to nurture mathability. Mathability is an attitude. Those who say that their child is poor in maths are doing an injustice to themselves and undermining their child's future.
Mathability is a skill that teaches a child how to think. It is a skill that develops the inherent intelligence potential, enhances problem solving abilities and analytical focus. The methods and techniques described herein are as suitable for adults as for children, with several of these having successfully altered the mindset of senior executives and housewives.
The author maintains that a child's curiosity and receptivity during infancy and childhood can never be matched, and we must, as parents, nurture the young minds by offering the right learning process and motivation to develop the innate strengths possessed by each child.
Shakuntala Devi (4-11-1929 - 20-4-2013) lacked any formal education but possessed an extraordinary ability to complete the most complex mathematical calculations in double-quick time that she became known as "the human computer".
As India's most remarkable mathematical prodigy, she had astounded friends and family with her numerical prowess since childhood. In June 1980, at Imperial College, London, accurately multiplied two random 13-digit numbers in a few seconds, a feat that earned her a place in the Guinness Book of Records.
Her ability to solve complicated arithmetical problems with apparent ease and astonishing speed had stunned observers since the 1970s. Witty and sharp-minded, she possessed exceptional powers of retention and appeared to harness the power of several mnemonic devices in her brain.
