- OracB7 5y agoCould you elaborate on the mental math part - do you do particular exercises?
- jasfi 5y agoThere are a lot of apps available, just search on mental math. I've found that relatively simple arithmetic done repeatedly works well, look for those kinds of apps. About 10-15 mins of these problems per day is enough.
- Fire-Dragon-DoL 5y agoStupid question, wouldn't coding (keeping the flow of the code in mind), being the same type if exercise?
- jrumbut 5y agoFor me coding is mostly about memory, math is more about processing.
- jasfi 5y agoNo it doesn't give me the same effect, surprisingly. However it does definitely help with coding. It gives your working memory and symbol manipulation a workout. Coding uses these facilities, but might not work them directly enough to be as good at training them. That's my theory so far.
