Many problems that mathematicians and physicists encounter in their work require complicated calculations. However, sometimes this tiresome work can be simplified with the use of the proper methods. During the lecture, I will present several techniques that often allow to quickly obtain the answers we are interested in, along with examples of their use in mathematics, physics, and everyday life. In particular, we will look at such concepts like symmetry or scaling and at methods such as the dimensional analysis or the use of various diagrams to present problems in a clearer way. We will also try to understand why some approximation techniques are able to give results so close to the actual value.
