Wu's Squaring Trick, named after the famous Scott Wu, is a technique used to quickly square numbers over 25 in your head. It uses the identity
- n2 = (n-25) \cdot 100 + (n-50)2
For example,
- 62^2 = 37 \cdot 100 + 12^2 = 3844
- 44^2 = 19 \cdot 100 + 6^2 = 1936
- 77^2 = 52 \cdot 100 + 27^2 = 5929
These mental computations can be done very quickly with just a little practice, so amaze your friends with how fast you can square two digit numbers!
