&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Mental calculation&#039;&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;&#039;mental maths&#039;&#039;&#039; is an old [[mathematics|mathematical]] tool. It is doing maths without using any objects or writing anything down. Mental calculation uses only the [[human]] brain. People who use mental maths use shortcuts to make the calculation easier. People who use mental calculation do not use a [[computer]] or a [[calculator]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Calculation methods ==&lt;br /&gt;
There are some [[methods]] to do mental maths. One way to do multiplications is the [[Russian peasant multiplication]]. An other way to do multiplications with two [[number]]s is to use [[Binomial theorem|binomial formulas]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; (x+y) \cdot (x-y)= x^2 - y^2 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
