Vedic Mathematics - Introduction -01

 

Vedic Mathematics

Vedic Mathematics contains 16 Suthras and 13 Sub Suthras (simple mathematical formulae from Vedas). Application of these Suthras improves the computational skills of the learners in a wide area of problems, ensuring both speed and accuracy, firmly based on rational and logical reasoning.

The word ‘Veda’ is derived from the word ‘Vid’ which means – to know without limit.

Dr.NarendraPuri of the Roorke University prepared teaching material based on Vedic Mathematics during 1986-89. A few of his opinions are stated here:

·         Mathematics, derived from Veda, provide one line, mental and superfast methods along with quick cross checking systems.

·         Vedic Mathematics converts a tedious subject into a play full and blissful one which students learn with SMILES.

·         Vedic Mathematics offers a new and entirely different approach to the study of Mathematics based on pattern recognition. It allows for constant expressions of a student’s creativity, and is found to be easier to learn.

·         In this system, for any problem, there is always one general technique applicable to all cases and also a number of special pattern problems. The elements of choice and flexibility at each stage keeps the mind lively and about to develop clarity of thought and intuition, and thereby a holistic development of the human brain automatically takes place.

·         Vedic Mathematics with its special features has the inbuilt potential to solve the psychological problems of Mathematics – Anxiety.

I will be explaining all 16 Suthras and 13 Sub Suthras with its applications in the forthcoming Posts.
