Maths are numbers games!

Knowing how to read and write numbers fluently is enough to do mathematics calculations effectively.

If you can memorize multiplication tables and have them at your fingertips, you'll be a whiz at math.

Then memorizing mathematical concepts and formulas and delving into its deep processes will become your favorite pastime.

Take the square numbers. That's the multiplication table you learned. In the second table, doesn't the multiplication result of multiplying two by two come? In the third table, the multiplication result of multiplying three by three comes, doesn't it? In the fourth table, the product of multiplying four by four comes, doesn't it? Similarly, in the fifth table, in the sixth table, multiplying a number by the same number gives the result of multiplication, doesn't it? The product of that multiplication is the square number.

Now you are able to take the meaning of square number and its process from the context you studied.

Now tell me what is square? A square is the result of multiplying the same number twice. The square root is the return to its previous state. When the square is written as the product of two numbers with the condition that it and the two numbers must be the same number, that number is its square root.

Would you consider writing a number as its product? A better method is to prime factorization. If you want to find the square root of any square number, just factor that as prime numbers. From that you can find the square root by taking a number for each pair of prime numbers and multiplying them.

Long division method is also useful for finding the square root of big square numbers.

Knowing square and square root, you can easily understand cube number and cube root.

Multiplication of the same number three times gives cube number. All you have to do is factorize the number to find its cube root. You can find the cube root of a cube number, you have to find factorization of that number as primes and take one number per three same numbers and then you have to multiply the selected numbers. That is, it is like selecting only one element from a group of three elements.

By now you understand that fluency in numbers and memorizing the multiplication table at your fingertips is essential for all of these.

Tomorrow we will see how the games contained in this square and cube form theorems in mathematics.
