THIS PROJECT IS BASED ON THE

TOPIC-VEDIC MATHEMATICS
What is Vedic Mathematics?
Vedic Mathematics is the name given to the ancient system
of Indian Mathematics which was rediscovered from the
Vedas between 1911 and 1918 by Sri Bharati Krsna Tirthaji
(1884-1960). According to his research all of mathematics
is based on sixteen Sutras, or word-formulae. For example,
'Vertically and Crosswise` is one of these Sutras. These
formulae describe the way the mind naturally works and are
therefore a great help in directing the student to the
appropriate method of solution.
In the Vedic system 'difficult' problems or huge sums can
often be solved immediately by the Vedic method. These
striking and beautiful methods are just a part of a complete
system of mathematics which is far more systematic than
the modern 'system'. Vedic Mathematics manifests the
coherent and unified structure of mathematics and the
methods are complementary, direct and easy.
Perhaps the most striking feature of the Vedic system is its
coherence. Instead of a hotch-potch of unrelated techniques
the whole system is beautifully interrelated and unified: the
general multiplication method, for example, is easily
reversed to allow one-line divisions and the simple squaring
method can be reversed to give one-line square roots.

History Of Vedic Mathematics
The ancient system of Vedic Mathematics was rediscovered from the
Indian Sanskrit texts known as the Vedas, between 1911 and 1918 by Sri
Bharati Krsna Tirthaji (1884-1960). At the beginning of the twentieth
century, when there was a great interest in the Sanskrit texts in Europe,
Bharati Krsna tells us some scholars ridiculed certain texts which were
headed 'Ganita Sutras'- which means mathematics. They could find no
mathematics in the translation and dismissed the texts as rubbish. Bharati
Krsna, who was himself a scholar of Sanskrit, Mathematics, History and
Philosophy, studied these texts and after lengthy and careful
investigation was able to reconstruct the mathematics of the Vedas.
According to his research all of mathematics is based on sixteen Sutras,
or word-formulae.

Calculating Prodigies

People who can perform astonishingly long or
complex calculations in their head are often called
calculating prodigies or lightning calculators.
It is peculiar to arithmetic that once the basic facts are
understood any intelligent person can construct the
whole science: number science develops in a totally
natural way.
The Introduction to the book "The Natural Calculator"
describes the many advantages of mental mathematics
and the Vedic system and supports the view that
everyone is potentially a lightning calculator.
Importance Of Vedic Mathematics
The 16 Sutras and 13 Corollaries form a useful platform to
speed up your mental calculations dramatically, and you will
enjoy finding ways to link them back to traditional western
Mental Math.
Vedic maths will prove immensely useful to the students,
teachers, professionals and to all those who need to use
mathematics in day-to-day performance of their duties.
Vedic Maths brings more self-confidence. Vedic maths
contain all 16 sutras of vedic mathematics along with
illustrations, powerful nine, series, square rules and
preliminary chatting in very interesting manner. Hence it is
most welcome.


Taking out square root with in 3 seconds
Squaring can also be performed using the Urdhva-Tiryak (vertically
and cross-wise) method. It can be set up as a regular multiplication
with the same number on two lines, or the vertical and cross-products
can be performed mentally with the number to be squared on just one
line. Also, some simplifications are possible because of the
performance of squaring rather than general multiplication. For
instance, since the cross-products involve the same numbers, the sum
of the cross products is just double of the single cross-product. This
property is referred to as Duplex, or in the Vedas as Dvandva Yoga.

Solving Quadratic Equation with in seconds
Let the quadratic equation be- x + 1/x = 10/3
Firstly we will solve it by general method-
x + 1/x = 10/3 becomes
(x^2 + 1)/x = 10/3 becomes
3x^2 + 3 = 10x becomes
3x^2 - 10x + 3 = 0
We would then solve it using the quadratic formula by setting a = 3,
b = 10 and c = 3. This would lead to the solutions x = 3 and x = 1/3.

Now by vedic mathematics-
All we have to do is observe that 10/3 = 3 + 1/3. Thus, we
would immediately have figured out that we can rewrite the
given equation as below:
x + 1/x = 3 + 1/3
The symmetry of the equation above immediately reveals the
answers, x = 3 and x = 1/3.
The same method can be used to solve many different
problems such as the examples below:
x + 1/x = 26/5 => x + 1/x = 5 + 1/5 => x = 5, 1/5
x + 1/x = 50/7 => x + 1/x = 7 + 1/7 => x = 7, 1/7
x + 1/x = -17/4 => x + 1/x = -4 - 1/4 => x = -4, -1/4

We are not restricted to x + 1/x on the left-hand side either.
