INTRODUCTION OF VEDIC MATHEMATICS

• WHAT IS VEDIC MATHEMATICS?

It is an ancient technique, which simplifies multiplication, divisibility,squaring, cubing, square and cube roots.

Even recurring decimals and auxiliary fractions can be handled by Vedic mathematics. Vedic Mathematics forms part of Jyotish Shastra which is one of the six parts of Vedangas. The Jyotish Shastra or Astronomy is made up of three parts called Skandas. A Skanda means the big branch of a tree shooting out of the trunk.

AND THE BEST PART IS - you dont even need a calculator for this purpose.

• What is the basis of Vedic Mathematics?

The basis of Vedic mathematics, are the 16 sutras, which attribute a set of qualities to a
number or a group of numbers. The ancient Hindu scientists (Rishis) of Bharat in 16 Sutras
(Phrases) and 120 words laid down simple steps for solving all mathematical problems in
easy to follow 2 or 3 steps.

Vedic Mental or one or two line methods can be used effectively for solving divisions, reciprocals, factorisation, HCF, squares and square roots, cubes and cube roots, algebraic
equations, multiple simultaneous equations, quadratic equations, cubic equations, biquadratic
equations, higher degree equations, differential calculus, Partial fractions,Integrations, Pythogorus theoram, Apollonius Theoram, Analytical Conics and so on.
