Vedic Mathematics

Vedic Mathematics for School offers a fresh and easy approach to learning mathematics. The system was reconstructed from ancient Vedic sources by the late Bharati Krsna Tirthaji earlier this century and is based on a small collection of sutras. Each sutra briefly encapsulates a rule of mental working, a principle or guiding maxim. Through simple practice of these methods all may become adept and efficient at mathematics. Book I of the series is intended for primary schools in which many of the fundamental concepts of mathematics are introduced. It has been written from the classroom experience of teaching Vedic mathematics to eight and nine years-old. At this age a few of the Vedic methods are used, the rest being introduced at a later stage.

The author has attempted to codify several useful results embedded in the ancient lore, in a form which is easily accessible to the children learning mathematics. Many of the chapters deal with computations using simple techniques which will shorten the effort involved in the conventional approach. The price one pays, of course, is that one has to learn the tricks, memorize them and use the appropriate one for each problem. While one might think that this takes away the generality of the modern approach, it certainly has the element of charm and intrigue which children [and grown-ups!] will find entertaining. Even working out why many of these approaches lead to correct results is a valuable exercise by itself. Contents Foreword, Preface, Feedback, Introduction, 1.

Astronomical Applications of Vedic Mathemetics is a self-contained book which shows Vedic mathematics applications in many areas of Astronomy including Prediction of Eclipses the Solution of Kepler`s Equation (an important equation in astronomy for finding planetary coordinates), Solution of Spherical Triangles, Prediction of Planetary Positions.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER 2nd REVISED & UPDATED EDITION With Trigonometry Vedic mathematics is gaining widespread popularity among the student community as well as maths lovers. The absence of a book, explaining the techniques in a simple language, has been felt acutely for a long time. This book has been written using a step-by-step approach, and attempts to fill the existing void. It includes several solved problems in addition to 1000 practice problems with answers. It also includes a special chapter which shows the application of the techniques to problems set in competitive exams like CAT, CET etc. People from all walks of life including school and college students, teachers, parents and also those from non-mathematical areas of study will discover the joys of solving mathematical problems using the wonderful set of techniques called Vedic Maths.

This epoch-making and monumental work on Vedic Mathematics unfolds a new method of approach. It relates to the truth of numbers and magnitudes equally applicable to all sciences and arts. The book brings to light how great and true knowledge is born of intuition, quite different from modern Western method. The ancient Indian method and its secret techniques are examined and shown to be capable of solving various problems of mathematics. The universe we live in has a basic mathematical structure obeying the rules of mathematical measures and relations. All the subjects in mathematics-Multiplication, Division, Factorization, Equations, Calculus, Analytical Conics, etc.-are dealt with in forty chapters, vividly working out all problems, in the easiest ever method discovered so far. The volume, more a 'magic', is the result of intuitional visualization of fundamental mathematical truths born after eight years of highly concentrated endeavour of Jagadguru Sri Bharati Krsna Tirtha.

Vedic Mathematics unfolds a new method of approach to mathematics. It is based on sixteen one line formulae known as "sutras" and thirteen one line corollaries known as "upa sutra." These simple straight forward formulae and techniques help in solving complex mathematical problems in quick and easy steps. The step-by-step easy methods explained in this book help to remove the mathematics phobia commonly present in students and boost their self-confidence. The short techniques elevate the performance level of the students in any exam be it school, college or competitive examination.

Vedic Mathematics was reconstructed from ancient vedic texts early last century by Sri Bharati Tirthaji (1884-1960). It is a complete systems of mathematics which has many surprising properties and applies at all levels and areas of mathematics, pure and applied. The system is based on sixteen word-formulae that relate to the way in which we use our mind.

Vedic mathematics is an ancient technique consisting of sixteen sutras and sixteen sub-sutras. It simplifi es not only the fundamental arithmetic operations, such as multiplication and division, but also more advanced concepts such as simultaneous equations, quadratic equations, the factorization of cubic equations, and so on. Th is mathematical technique is rapidly emerging as a tool for students appearing in various competitive examinations, including CAT, MAT, XAT, SAT, engineering and banking examinations, where speed and accuracy play a vital role. As a bonus for students, Rajesh Kumar Th akur has also included in this book chapters for CBSE and ICSE board examinations. Written in simple and lucid language, Th e Essentials of Vedic Mathematics has been designed to benefi t the maximum number of readers. Now you can comprehend the basics of Vedic mathematics without any help from experts.

The remarkable system of Vedic mathematics was created after careful study of ancient -Sanskrit texts early last century. The Vedic system with its direct, easy and flexible approach forms a complete system of mental, mathematics (though the methods can also' be written down) and brings out the naturally coherent and unified structure of mathematics. Many of the features and techniques of this unique system are truly amazing in their efficiency and originality. Being a mental system, Vedic Mathematics encourages creativity and innovation. Mental mathematics increases mental agility, improves memory, the ability to hold ideas in the mind and promotes confidence, as well as being of great practical use. This course consists of three textbooks an Answer Book and a Teacher's Guide. The course is aimed at 11-14 year old pupils though some of it is very suitable for children from 8 years. Vedic Mathematics is being taught in many schools world-wide with great success: many top mathematics prizes have been won by students of this system.
