Vedic math or the ‘fast math’ is a system of reasoning and mathematical working based on ancient India teachings called Veda. It is fast efficient easy to learn and use.
It is being taught in some of the most prestigious institutions in the England and Europe. NASA applied its principals in the filed of artificial intelligence.
What is vadic maths?
It is an ancient technique which simplifies, multiplication, divisibility, complex numbers, squaring, cubing, and square and cube roots. Even recurring decimals and auxiliary fractions can be handled by vadic maths. Vedic math’s forms a part of the jyotish shastra which is one of the six parts of vedangas. The jyotish shastra or astronomy is made up of 3 parts called skandas, it mean big branch of tree shooting outwards.
Vedic maths was made famous by a swami called bharathikrishna (1184-1960)
Basis of vadic maths
The basis of vadic maths is 16 sutras, which attribute a set of qualities to a number or a group of numbers. The ancient Hindu scientist (rishis) of bharat (India) in 16 sutras (phrase) and 120 words laid down simple steps for solving all mathematical problems in easy to follow 2 or 3 steps.
Mental or 1 or 2 line Vedic methods can be used effectively for solving division, reciprocal, factorization , HCF , squared and square roots, cubes and cube roots, algebraic equations, multiple simultaneous equations, higher degree equations, differential calculus, partial fractions, integration, Pythagoras theorem , Apollonius theorem, analytical conics and so on.
Is it useful in today’s world?
Given the initial training of modern math to students in today’s school, students will be able to comprehend the logic and achieve unimaginable help in their working in the world afterwards. It is amazing how with the help of 16 sutras and 16 sub-sutras the vedic seers were able to mentally calculate complex mathematical problems.
Vedic maths is utmost important for every GMAT and CAT aspirant. It will give u a huge boost in your quant section as you will be able to do all the calculation mentally and with amazing fast speed. This saves time in your examination and increases your moral.
Now we all know what is vadic maths and it importance. In the next lesson we will start with the 16 sutras and how to apply the vadic math logic to mathematical problem.
