HELLO FRIENDS I AM MANASH AND TODAY I SHARE SOME INTERESTING DETAILS ABOUT VEDIC MATHS AND ITS HISTORY AND  SOME TIPS

• Vedic Mathematics is a collection of Techniques/Sutras to solve mathematical arithmetics in easy and faster way. It consists of 16 Sutras (Formulae) and 13 sub-sutras (Sub Formulae) which can be used for problems involved in arithmetic, algebra, geometry, calculus, conics.
• Vedic Mathematics is a system of mathematics which was discovered by Indian mathematician Jagadguru Shri Bharathi Krishna Tirthaji in the period between A.D. 1911 and 1918 and published his findings in a Vedic Mathematics Book by Tirthaji Maharaj
• Veda is a Sanskrit word which means ‘Knowledge’.
• Using regular mathematical steps, solving problems sometimes are complex and time consuming. But using Vedic Mathematic’s General Techniques (applicable to all sets of given data) and Specific Techniques (applicable to specific sets of given data), numerical calculations can be done very fast.

Mathematics enthusiastic always have the questions What is Vedic Mathematics and What are the . Techniques/Sutras in Vedic Mathematics. But when they try to go through the Vedic Mathematics books they get confused for some of the techniques, concepts and to understand this they search on internet. I found that not much information of Vedic Mathematics Sutras/Techniques is present over the internet.

By referring original book of Vedic Mathematics by Tirthaji Maharaj, I have tried to mention the Vedic Mathematics Sutras in a simpler and with step by step approach. I have solved lot of examples to make Vedic Mathematics Tricks understandable.

History Of Vedic Mathematics

Shri Bharathi Krishna Tirthaji Maharaj was born in March 1884 in the Puri village of Orissa state. He was very good in subjects like mathematics, science, humanities and was excellent in Sanskrit language. His interests were also in spiritualism and mediation. In fact when he was practicing meditation in the forest near Sringeri, he rediscovered the Vedic sutras. He claims that these sutras/techniques he learnt from the Vedas especially ‘Rig-Veda’ directly or indirectly and he intuitively rediscovered them when he was practicing meditation for 8 years.

Later he wrote the sutras on the manuscripts but were lost. Finally in year 1957, he wrote introductory volume of 16 sutras which is called as Vedic Mathematics and planned to write other sutras later. But soon he developed cataract in both of his eyes and passed away in year 1960.

How Vedic Mathematics is Beneficial and What are the Advantages of Vedic Mathematics

Vedic Mathematics can definitely solve mathematical numerical calculations in faster way. Some Vedic Math Scholars mentioned that Using Vedic Maths tricks you can do calculations 10-15 times faster than our usual methods. I agree this to some extent because some methods in Vedic Mathematics are really very fast. But some of this methods are dependent on the specific numbers which are to be calculated. They are called specific methods.

Why Vedic Maths Course is so important?

Vedic Maths is a well-known technique for calculation, the simplicity of Vedic Mathematics is that calculations can be carried out mentally (though the methods can also be written down). There are many advantages in using a flexible, mental system. Kids can invent their own methods, they are not limited to the one 'correct' method. This leads to more creative, interested and intelligent children.

SOME TRICKS OF VEDIC MATHS

Tip 1. Multiplication of 2 digit numbers from 11 to 10 - 

Take 2 numbers like 17 and 19
Place the larger number(19) at the top and the 2nd digit of the smaller number(7) in the bottom.
19
7
Add 19+7=26, Then multiply 26x10=260
Now, multiply the units digit of both numbers, i.e., 7x9=63.
Add the two numbers, 260+63 and the answer is 323.

Tip 2. Multiplication of any two digit number with 11 -
Take any number like 43 and now separate the numbers as 4_3
Now add; 4+3=7. 
The answer is 473
There is an exception is this case. If there are 4 digits as an answer then the 2nd digit carries over to the first digit. For example 67x11. 
Separate the numbers as 6_7
Add, 6+7=13. We have 6137.
Now, carry the number 1 to 6 and add,6+1=7
Therefore, the answer is 737.
Tip 3. Squaring two digits number  that end with 5-Take 2 numbers like 25 and multiply last two digits, 5x5=25
Now add 1 to the first digit '2', 1+2=3
Now multiply 3 with the first digit '2', 3x2=6
Hence, the answer is 625.

Tip 4. Squaring two digit numbers -
Take any number such as 77. Now add or subtract the number to make it to its nearest multiple of 10.
In this case, add 3 to the number to reach the nearest 10, i.e., 77+3=80
Now, (77+3) x (77-3)=80 x 74=5920
The number add was 3. Now square the number and add it to the above product.
Square of 3=9
5920+9=5929

Tip 5. Multiplying any number to 11-Take the number 6632457

Put the number '0' in front of the above number.
New number is 06632457
Now add,
7+0=7
7+5=12 (the 1 will get carry over)
4+5+1=10 (the 1 will get carry over)
2+4+1=7
3+2=5
6+3=9
6+6=12(the 1 will get carry over)
0+6+1=7
Therefore the answer=72957027

Tip 6. Multiplication of any 3 digit numbers-Take any two numbers like 208 and 206
Now subtract the number at units place
208-8=200
206-6=200
Now select any number and add the unit digit of another number
208+6=214
Now multiply, 214x200=42800
Now multiply the unit digits of both numbers, 8x6=48
Add, 42800+48=42848
The product of the numbers 208 and 206 is 42848

Tip 7. Multiplication of a number with 9's-

In this type of multiplication, the multiplier (9's) and the multiplicand should have equal number of digits.

Take numbers as 567 and 999.

Subtract  567 by 1, 567-1=566

The complement of 567 (1000-567) is 433

Therefore the answer is 566433 ("566" "433")
