“Mathematicians love books,” said Paul Halmos in his autobiography, I Want to be a Mathematician. And it’s true; we do. We like to read them, and we also like to press them on others, in the hopes that they’ll come to love our subject as much as we do.

Here we are making an effort to list down some of the best books related to quick calculations, mental mathematics or speed arithmetic. These books are amazingly interesting and helpful for students who are preparing for Competitive Examinations like CAT, GMAT, GRE or any other.

Feel free to suggest any book which you want to be included in this list. I am also putting Flipkart.com link for each book. Each book is an investment for lifetime. I always order these books online to get free home delivery and to get good discounts on listed price. What more do one need?
