Summary	Day-to-day life is full of scenarios where your skill with numbers is tested, whether it's dividing up your share of the restaurant bill, or working out whether you've been overcharged at the checkout.

This book contains all the shortcuts, fun tricks and new approaches you need to tackle even complex calculations with confidence.
