"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.

But which books should we buy? There are lots of math books out there. So it's hard to choose.
Here I am 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 our day to day life calculations.

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. I always order these books online to get free home delivery and to get good discounts on listed price.
