About Vedic Mathematics

Bharat renamed as India by British is the land of many greatest mathematicians
like Baudhayana, Aryabhata I, Bhaskara I, Pingala, Bhaskara II, Varahamihira,
Brahmagupta, Madhava, Mahavira, Brahmadeva, Hemachandra, Parameshwara
and many more were born few 1000 years back. Bharat has also produced many
greatest mathematicians in modern era. Few among them are Sri Srinivasa
Ramanujan, D. R. Kaprekar, C. R. Rao, Satyendra Nath Bose etc.
Vedic Mathematics is the name given to the ancient system of Indian Mathematics
which were practiced in Vedic ages, but these were repeatedly stolen, burnt and
lost due to invaders and wars. Later, these were rediscovered from the Vedas
between 1911 and 1918 by Sri Bharati Krishna Thirthaji. In the Vedic system
complex problems or large sums can often be solved easily by the Vedic method.
These beautiful methods are part of a complete system of mathematics which is
far more systematic than the modern methods. Vedic Mathematics manifests the
coherent and unified structure of mathematics and the methods are
complementary, direct and easy. The simplicity of Vedic Mathematics is that
calculations can be carried out mentally. There are many advantages in using a
flexible, mental system. Students can invent their own methods. They are not
limited to one correct method. This leads to more creative, interesting and
intelligent students. Interest in the Vedic system is growing in education sector
where mathematic teachers are looking for something better and finding the Vedic
system as solution. Research is being carried out in many areas including the
effects of learning Vedic Maths on students; developing new, powerful with easy
applications of the Vedic Sutras in geometry, calculus, computing etc. But the real
beauty and effectiveness of Vedic Mathematics cannot be fully appreciated without
practicing the system. One can then see that it is perhaps the most refined and
efficient mathematical system possible.
Advantages of Vedic Maths are below.
• Eradicates the fear of Maths.
• Multiple solving approaches to a problem.
• Faster than calculators and useful for competitive exams.
• 15 times faster than normal approach.
• Boosts the calculation skills thus making them better and faster.
• Improves memory and problem-solving ability.
• Sharpens the concentration and observation power.
• Develops left and right side of brain (Intuition and Innovation)
• Develops confidence and leadership.
• Strengthens the mental visualization skills.
• Makes mathematics fun for the child.
