Abstract
Some months ago the authors read a small booklet that describes the Trachtenberg system, a method for addition, multiplication, division, and square root extraction which depends primarily upon the memorization of a great many rules and secondarily upon the use of mental arithmetic. Trachtenberg's approach to computation suggests some interesting experimentation in the teaching of whole-number arithmetic. We would like to point out some of the directions experimentation might take, in the hope that readers of this article will be stimulated to try them.
