ORIGIN OF VEDIC MATHS
Vedas are ancient encyclopedias written in Sanskrit language around 1500-900BCE.The four Vedas are Rig Veda,Yajur Veda,Atharva Veda and Sama Veda.These texts cover all the topics connected to human race like medicine,astronomy,architecture,religion and Mathematics.Vedic Maths was reconstructed from Parishista of Atharva Veda by Swami Bharati Krishna Tirthaji during the period 1911-1918.
IMPORTANCE OF VEDIC MATHS
Any complex problem can be solved mentally using Vedic Maths.This system is based on 16 Sutras or principles.Each sutra is like a programmed chip of computer age.These formulae are the foundation of algebra,square root,concept of zero,algorithm and various calculations.
EXAMPLES OF VEDIC SUTRAS AND ITS APPLICATIONS
SUTRA
Ekadhikena purvena sutra
(by one more than the one before)
Q:Find square of 45
How to solve: The first digit is 4 and second digit is 5
according to the rule,add (4+1),then multiply with 4.
That is 4x(4+1) which is= 20
Next multiply 5x5 which is = 25
Answer is 2025
You can employ this method to multiply all numbers ending with 5.
SUTRA
Nikhilam Navatascharamam Dashatah
(All from nine and last from ten)
Q:Substract :1000-564
Each figure in 564 is substracted from 9 and last figure is substracted from 10
Answer is 436.
Interesting ,isn't it?These are simple problems,but these formulae can be used to solve very complex problems.
