About this Item

Vedic Mathematics or 'Sixteen Simple Mathematical Formulae from the Vedas' was written by His Holiness Jagadguru Sankaracarya Sri Bharati Krsna Tirthaji Maharaja of Govardhana Matha, Puri. It deals mainly with various Vedic mathematical formulae and their applications for carrying out tedious and cumbersome arithmetical operations, and to a very large extent, executing them mentally. In this field of mental arithmetical operations, the works of the famous mathematicians Trachtenberg and Lester Meyers (High Speed Maths) are elementary compared to that of Jagadguruji. Some people may find it difficult, at first reading to understand the arithmetical operations although they have been explained very lucidly by Jagadguruji. It is not because the explanations are lacking in any manner but because the methods are totally unconventional. Some people are so deeply rooted in the conventional methods that they, probably subconsciously, reject to see the logic in unconventional methods.

About this title

Synopsis

Vedic Mathematics refers to a system of mathematics that was derived from ancient Indian scriptures known as the Vedas. It is a collection of techniques or sutras (mathematical formulas) that allow for faster and more efficient calculation methods. The system was revived and popularized in the 20th century by Jagadguru Swami Sri Bharati Krishna Tirthaji Maharaja, who was a scholar and mathematician. He is credited with compiling these techniques into a coherent system from the Vedic texts, primarily from the Atharvaveda. The beauty of Vedic Mathematics lies in its simplicity, speed, and the intuitive nature of its methods. Unlike traditional mathematical approaches, which can often be cumbersome or involve many steps, Vedic Mathematics provides shortcuts and tricks to solve complex problems quickly and with ease. It covers a wide range of topics, including arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and calculus.
