~ Vedic Mathematics: Why and How to Learn

“Vedic” means from the era of Vedas, an ancient Sanskrit Hindu scriptures. Vedic mathematics is an ancient Indian mathematics which has simple rules called “sutras” and tricks to do large calculations literally in seconds! This ancient mathematics was believed to be rediscover by Hindu Shankaracharya Bharati Krishna Tirthaji in early 19th century.  Some British mathematicians took interest in it , understood the concept and gave lectures in western world and thus making it popular worldwide. Meanwhile, Indian mathematicians and teachers also took interest in vedic mathematics along with general popular mathematics. Since old days,many Hindu families teach their children Sanskrit and vedic maths in early childhood to help them in mathematics. But, it was not that popular because of lack of books and teachers. Now with availability of sufficient books and tuition in many cities/towns, Indian students are again learning ancient technique of Vedic mathematics.

 How it helps:

Vedic maths has tricks and basic “sutras” formulas which help you to solve large calculations such as multiplications and division during competitive exams like GRE, GMAT, SAT, CAT, GATE or any examination which tests your mathematics ability. It reduces the burden of remembering many formulas, rules, decimals and theorems. Vedic maths provides simple memorizing tricks and teaches you fundamentals about numbers and its various arrangements to find answers to complex calculations. Hindu Rishis   (Ancient Hindu scientists), Astrologers, Astronomers, Accountants and Mathematicians used these techniques in their works.  By knowing simple tricks and number arrangements from Vedic mathematics, you would be able to “play with numbers”, sharpen your number memory and will be more confident about solving complex mathematical calculations. Kids, students even adults will start taking interest in mathematics which was once boring to them!
