Synopsis
Get Smart!
This astonishing book shows you how, through the application of simple mathematics -- things you have learned or should have learned in high school -- you can develop your mind to razor sharpness and your memory to steel-trap effectiveness.
In 452 riveting pages, Gerardo Joffe takes you through:
1. Review of Arithmetic: Things you should know, but may have forgotten -- and some very important things that even your math teacher didn't know about.
2. The 16-Level Paradigm of Multiplication: An astonishing journey through interactions of numbers. Here is where your mind will get its initial sharpening.
3. A Few Full Trips Through the 16-Level Paradigm, where your mind and your memory will get their final honing and polish.
4. The Algebra of the 16-Level Paradigm: This is optional, but even those who "hate math" will find it fascinating. This section also contains marvelous stuff about probability, combinations and permutations, "propositions" (earn money with bets!), and first-degree and second-degree equations. It's a goldmine of wonderful information!
5. Final Wrap-Up and Odds & Ends: In this section, you will get your final homework problems, and we will show you how you can get your Certificate of Achievement, and (really!) how you can get this book for FREE! And finally, you will learn how to instantly determine the day of the week for any date in the 20th and 21st centuries.

About the Author
Gerardo Joffe was born in Berlin, Germany and spent his young manhood in Bolivia, South America.
He worked in the mines of Bolivia for eight years. He then came to the United States and earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Mining Engineering from the School of Mines of the University of Missouri (Rolla).
He then worked for eight years as a petroleum engineer in the oil fields of Arkansas/Texas/Louisiana, after which he earned an M.B.A. degree from the Harvard Business School.
In 1967, he founded Haverhills, a mail-order house that he started “from scratch” and which he developed into almost a “national institution”, pioneering the merchandising methods that are now standard procedures in the industry.
He sold the business to Time Inc. in 1971. He then re-started the business (with the permission of Time Inc.) under the same name and has, with some interruptions, operated it ever since.
Mr. Joffe also is founder and president of FLAME (Facts and Logic About the Middle East), an educational advocacy organization.
In addition to the work mentioned herein, Mr. Joffe is also author of "How You Too Can Make at Least $1 Million (but Probably Much More) in the Mail-Order Business". This book was distributed by Harper & Row and went through eight printings before it was remaindered.
He is also author of "Anagraphics: I", a book of 133 brain-teasing, witty, and challenging word-picture puzzles. That book was published by Advance Books.
