solve difficult problems : Vedic Mathematics
The Sanskrit word Veda is derived from the root Vid, meaning to know
without limit. The word Veda covers all Veda-sakhas known to humanity. The
Veda is a repository of all knowledge, fathomless, ever revealing as it is
delved deeper.
Swami Bharati Krishna Tirtha (1884-1960), former Jagadguru Sankaracharya
of Puri culled a set of 16 Sutras (aphorisms) and 13 Sub - Sutras (corollaries)
from the Atharva Veda. He developed methods and techniques for amplifying
the principles contained in the aphorisms and their corollaries, and called it
Vedic Mathematics.
According to him, there has been considerable literature on Mathematics in
the Veda-sakhas. Unfortunately most of it has been lost to humanity as of
now. This is evident from the fact that while, by the time of Patanjali, about
25 centuries ago, 1131 Veda-sakhas were known to the Vedic scholars, only
about ten Veda-sakhas are presently in the knowledge of the Vedic scholars
in the country.
The Sutras apply to and cover almost every branch of Mathematics. They
apply even to complex problems involving a large number of mathematical
operations. Application of the Sutras saves a lot of time and effort in solving
the problems, compared to the formal methods presently in vogue. Though
the solutions appear like magic, the application of the Sutras is perfectly
logical and rational. The computation made on the computers follows, in a
way, the principles underlying the Sutras. The Sutras provide not only
methods of calculation, but also ways of thinking for their application.
This book on Vedic Mathematics seeks to present an integrated approach to
learning Mathematics with keenness of observation and inquisitiveness,
avoiding the monotony of accepting theories and working from them
mechanically. The explanations offered make the processes clear to the
learners. The logical proof of the Sutras is detailed in algebra, which
eliminates the misconception that the Sutras are a jugglery.
Application of the Sutras improves the computational skills of the learners in
a wide area of problems, ensuring both speed and accuracy, strictly based on
rational and logical reasoning. The knowledge of such methods enables the
teachers to be more resourceful to mould the students and improve their
talent and creativity. Application of the Sutras to
