Vedic Mathematics

What is Vedic Mathematics?

During A.D. 1911 and 1918,  an Indian mathematician Jagadguru Shri Bharathi Krishna Tirthaji  discovered a system of mathematics known as Vedic Mathematics. His findings were mentioned in a Vedic Mathematics book – Tirthaji Maharaj. In the mathematical world, Vedic mathematics is also called mental mathematics. It is said that our brain’s capacity and calculation speed increases five times with the practice of Vedic mathematics. 

Vedic Mathematics Meaning

Vedic Mathematics is a collection of Sutras to solve numerical computations quickly and faster. It consists of 16 Sutras called Formulae and 13 sub-sutras called Sub Formulae, which can be applied for solving of problems in arithmetic, algebra, geometry, calculus, conics, etc.  With the help of these  sutras and sub sutras one can perform mathematical operations quickly and accurately.

Benefits of Vedic Mathematics

Vedic Mathematics reveals the importance of early Indian Culture. The application of Vedic maths in the simplification of numerical problems is many times faster than the modern methods of calculations. Proper practice of this method sometimes ensure that simplifying numerical calculations does not require paper and pen also. Consequently, learning Vedic mathematics saves time and improves the interest in learning more applications of mathematics. We can enlist some of the benefits of  practicing Vedic mathematics sutras:

• Calculations become easy and short.

• Simplifications can be done in less time.

• Students undergo less mental stress.

• Results obtained by sutra-based methods can be easily verified with normal procedures.

• The possibility of committing errors by students using these sutras is negligible

• The use of sutras helps students to improve their knowledge and interest in the subject of mathematics.

• Vedic maths helps to solve hard problems using mental calculations.
