What is Vedic Math?

Who invented Vedic Math?

Vedic Mathematics is a collection of ancient tricks and techniques to execute arithmetic operations quickly and more efficiently. Vedic Math comes from the Vedas, more specifically the Atharva Veda. It was revived by Indian mathematician Jagadguru Shri Bharati Krishna Tirthaji between 1911 and 1918. He then published this work in a book called Vedic Mathematics in 1965. It comprises 16 sutras (formulae) and 13 sub sutras.

What is the history of Vedic Math?

Bharati Krishna Tirtha was born in March 1884 in Puri Village, Orissa, a state in India. Apart from mathematics, he also excelled in Science, Humanities, and Sanskrit as a student. He was passionate about meditation and spiritualism. He claims to have gained knowledge of the Vedic Sutras while meditating in a forest near Singeri for eight years. According to Krishna Tirtha, he learned the sutras from the Vedas, like the Atharva Veda and the Rig Veda.  Hence the term ‘Vedic Mathematics’.

He wrote the initial 16 sutras in 1957. He planned to pen more down, but cataract developed in both eyes, and he passed away in 1960.

Applications of Vedic Math

Vedic Math is an ancient technique that simplifies multiplication, divisibility, complex numbers, squaring, cubing, square roots, cube roots, recurring decimals, and auxiliary fractions.

Vedic Maths has the following benefits:

  • Makes elementary calculation 10-15 times faster
  • Helps in accurate guessing
  • Useful for all classes
  • Reduces burden (need to learn tables up to 9 only)
  • A magical tool to reduce finger counting and rough work
  • Increases concentration
  • Helps in reducing silly mistakes

Why should you know Vedic Math?

Vedic maths provides answers in one line, as opposed to the several steps of traditional mathematics. There are six Vedanganas. The Jyotish Shastra is one of the six. Vedic Math forms part of this Jyotish Shastra. Vedic maths consists of 3 segments or ‘skandas’ (branches). The beauty of Vedic Math lies in its simplicity; all calculations can be done on pen and paper. The approach to solve problems stimulates and sharpens the mind, memory, and focus. It improves creativity and promotes innovation.

Easy to Understand

Vedic Maths is elementary and can be comprehended easily. Once a student begins to understand the basic concepts, they can get creative with their approach. Consequently, their understanding improves. It is flexible and applies to students of all ages. Using Vedic Math in competitive exams may give students an edge over the others.

ARTICLE FOR NEWSLETTER 129

RESEARCH IN VEDIC MATHEMATICS

Vedic Maths research is going on all around the world. This is clear from the articles appearing in journals, conference papers, magazines etc. from many individuals.

From time to time we get questions about research: what to study, how to study, how to publish, and so on. So here is some brief guidance for those interested in pursuing research in this fascinating subject which has such high potential for research opportunities.

What to Study

Research can be very worthwhile: it focuses the mind, expands creativity and, hopefully, leads to something useful.

Obviously, a subject of research must be chosen and I generally advise that it should be either a topic that you are very familiar with (i.e. know in some depth) or one which you have a special interest in. Preferably both of these.

There are many topics in Tirthaji’s book that could be followed up. Looking at the amazing Vedic methods and practising them often leads to thoughts about how they can be extended or applied in a different setting. Tirthaji himself gives many hints. For example, in Chapter 17 he writes: “This portion of the Vedic Sūtras deals also with the Binomial theorem, factorisations, factorials, repeated factors, continued fractions, Differentiations, Integrations, Successive Differentiations, Integrations by means of continued fractions etc.”.

There are several other such comments in the book, in particular the two lists in Chapter 40 are of special significance.

How to Study

To carry out the research you need to know your chosen subject thoroughly and you need to know Vedic Maths thoroughly. It is really essential that you know VM very well and have a feel for what a VM approach to a problem would be like, i.e. holistic, simple and directly related to the Sutras. Look for unifying principles in your research.

Understand that there are likely to be setbacks, disappointments etc. You may find that after considerable effort and time you have discovered something that was obvious or that has been found by someone else previously. So above all be determined to continue in spite of these events.

Put the study aside for a while if it is going nowhere, and return later. And you should not rush, this really does reduce the creative faculties.

On the other hand you may have too many ideas. Writing the ideas down will help to consolidate and clarify what is important and weed out less useful points. In time these will organise themselves.

To keep the mind still and clear some form of meditation is highly beneficial. Get to know how your mind works and use this to help direct your study.

If you get a nice result, you may be tempted to stop studying and write it up – this often happens. But maybe if you look further your result may be a clue to something deeper. See if it is part of a bigger picture.

Write-up and Publication

Look at VM articles that have been published to get an idea of expected format, length etc. and follow any guidelines that your intended publisher expects. For example: https://www.vedicmaths.org/resources/journal-of-vedic-mathematics

Make sure there are no errors; it gives a poor impression when an article has mistakes.

Check your work is original by searching online and asking those working in the same field as you for advice.

Give references to any work cited in your paper, it will be assumed that you are claiming authorship of any material you do not ascribe to someone else. Similarly for proofs: include proofs of results or theorems you have used or give references.

For publication of Vedic Maths articles there is the online International Journal of Vedic Mathematics (see link above) and Vedic maths conferences. There are currently two annual conferences: online and in-person. These are organised by the Institute for the Advancement of Vedic Mathematics who can be contacted for more information.

Vedic Math-A new perspective of Mathematics

What is Vedic Math?

The Magic of Vedic Maths

  • Indian Arts and Culture
  • India Past and Present
  • Important Texts
  • Temples and Organizations
  • Hindu Gurus and Saints
  • M.A., English Literature, University of North Bengal

What does mathematics have to do with Hinduism? Well, just as the basic principles of Hinduism lie in the Vedas, so do the roots of mathematics. The Vedas , written around 1500-900 BCE, are ancient Indian texts containing a record of human experience and knowledge. Thousands of years ago, Vedic mathematicians authored various theses and dissertations on mathematics. It is now commonly believed and widely accepted that these treatises laid down the foundations of algebra, algorithm, square roots, cube roots, various methods of calculation, and the concept of zero.

Vedic Mathematics

Sutras: natural formulae, why sutras.

Dr L M Singhvi, the former High Commissioner of India in the UK, who is an avid endorser of the system says: "A single sutra would generally encompass a varied and wide range of particular applications and may be likened to a programmed chip of our computer age". Another Vedic maths enthusiast, Clive Middleton of vedicmaths.org feels, "These formulas describe the way the mind naturally works, and are therefore a great help in directing the student to the appropriate method of solution."

A Simple & Easy System

Try these out.

  • If you want to find the square of 45, you can employ the Ekadhikena Purvena sutra ("By one more than the one before"). The rule says since the first digit is 4 and the second one is 5, you will first have to multiply 4 (4 +1), that is 4 X 5, which is equal to 20 and then multiply 5 with 5, which is 25. Viola! The answer is 2025. Now, you can employ this method to multiply all numbers ending with 5.
  • If you want to subtract 4679 from 10000, you can easily apply the Nikhilam Navatashcaramam Dashatah sutra ("All from 9 and the last from 10"). Each figure in 4679 is subtracted from 9 and the last figure is subtracted from 10, yielding 5321. Similarly, other sutras lay down such simple rules of calculation.

Vedic Maths

Class Registration Banner

Vedic maths is a system of mathematics that was discovered by an Indian mathematician, Jagadguru Shri Bharathi Krishna Tirthaji during A.D. 1911 and 1918. He printed his findings in a Vedic Mathematics book – Tirthaji Maharaj. Vedic mathematics is also called mental mathematics in the mathematical world. We can say that the brain’s capacity and its speed of calculations increases fivefold with the practice of Vedic maths.

Vedic Maths Benefits

The importance of Vedic Maths can be explained in various ways. The application of Vedic maths in the simplification of numerical problems is many times faster than the modern methods of calculations. Sometimes, this way of simplifying numerical calculations does not require paper and pen also. Thus, learning Vedic maths saves time and improves the interest in learning more applications of maths. Some of the benefits of Vedic mathematics sutras are listed below:

  • Calculations become easy and short.
  • Simplifications can be done in less time.
  • Students undergo less mental stress.
  • Results obtained by sutra-based methods can be easily verified with normal procedures.
  • The possibility of committing errors by students using these sutras is negligible
  • The use of sutras helps students to improve their knowledge and interest in the subject of mathematics.
  • Vedic maths helps to solve hard problems using mental calculations.

Vedic Maths Tricks

Vedic maths has many tricks to perform different mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, squares, square roots, etc. All these tricks help to compute the numerical problems in very little time when compared to the normal maths procedures. Vedic maths tricks reduce the time in finishing the calculations and create interest in learning more such tricks. Let’s have a look at some of the tricks along with examples for a better understanding here.

Also, check: Maths Tricks

Vedic Maths Addition Tricks

We have various tricks to perform the addition in Vedic maths. In this section, you will learn how to add numbers using one of the sutras called Ekadhikena Purvena with the help of an example.

Compute: 98765 + 63217 + 89522 + 60543

By Sutra Ekadhikena Purvena, add 98765, 63217, 89522, and 60543.

Steps for adding numbers using Ekadhiken Purvena Sutra:

Step 1: Write the given numbers in rows and columns by giving some space between the digits.

Step 2: Column I (from the right side), add the first two digits, 5 + 7 = 12

Step 3: Mark Ekadhika dot(.) on 1, (digit which is next to 7 in column II)

Step 4: Now, start again adding with 2;

Again start with 4 such that 4 + 3 = 7

Step 5: Write 7 below at the answer’s place

Step 6: Add the remaining columns in the same way.

Thus, the final answer will be obtained as:

Vedic Maths Subtraction Tricks

Subtraction can be performed using 4 or 5 different methods in Vedic mathematics, and the best, as well as easiest way to subtract the numbers, is the Sutra Ekadhiken Purvena and Param Mitra Unka (the best friend). Here, two digits are called each other’s best friends if their sum is equal to 10. For example, 3 is the best friend of 7 since 3 + 7 = 10.

Go through the example given below to understand the subtraction of numbers by Sutra Ekadhiken Purvena.

Subtract 389 from 746.

Steps for subtraction in Sutra Ekadhiken Purvena:

Step 2: Consider column I (from the right end), 9 is greater than 6 so we cannot subtract it from 6.

1 is the best friend of 9 and add 1 to 6, i.e. 1 + 6 = 7. So write 7 in the answer place and mark Ekadhika dot(.) on 8, which is in the same row of column II such that it becomes 9 (as 8 + 1 = 9).

Here, dot(.) on the number represents one more than the previous number.

Step 3: Similarly, we need to subtract the remaining numbers. Thus, the answer will be:

Therefore, 746 – 789 = 357.

Vedic Maths Multiplication Tricks

Like addition and subtraction, multiplication can also be done using different sutras in Vedic maths. In this section, you will learn two simple methods of multiplying numbers along with examples.

In this method, we can multiply the numbers whose unit digits are added up to 10 or powers of 10.

Let’s have a look at the solved example given below to understand the multiplication of numbers.

Multiply 63 and 67.

Sum of unit digits = 3 + 7 = 10

Digits in tens places = 6

So, we can write the multiplication as:

63 × 67 = 6 × (6 + 1)/3 × 7

= 6 × 7/3 × 7

We can also verify the result using normal mathematical calculations.

This method of multiplication is referred to as the Sutra Ekadhiken Purvena. This method can also be used to multiply two numbers whose last two digits are added up to 100, the last three digits are added up to 1000. Also, in the case of mixed fractions, the sum of proper fractions must be added up to 1 to apply this method of multiplication.

If two numbers are to be multiplied and one of these numbers is having only 9’s then we can apply this method.

Multiply 876 and 999.

Given, two numbers are 876 and 999.

Now, subtract 1 from 876.

876 – 1 = 875

Subtract 875 from 999.

999 – 875 = 124

876 × 999 = 876 – 1/999 – 875

This method of multiplying numbers is Sutra Ekanyunena Purvena.

Similarly, there are many sutras in Vedic maths to perform the multiplication of numbers.

Al-Khwarizmi's works is influenced from India developed from the sacred Hindu text the unique Vedas. His Algebra is influenced by the great Indian mathe matician Brahmagupta who called it Kuttaka. Al Khwarizmi's work on algebra gives us what is now known as Modern Algebra also called Abstract Algebra. The word 'Algebra' is just a broad part in mathematical sciences leading to the study of modern abstract mathematical objects like groups, semigroups, semihypergroups, rings, near rings, Γnearrings, Abstract Affine Γ-nearrings and fields. Algebra developed into a distinct branch of modern mathematics from the time of Indian mathematician Aryab hata I. Recently, Basar, Satyanarayana, Kumar and Mohammad Yahya [International Journal of Statistics and Applied Mathematics, 2021; 6(6): 62-67] studied about var ious Indian mathematicians based on the Hindu sacred scripture the unique Vedas.

Indian mathematics has its deep roots in the Vedas, different from what is known as Vedic Mathematics. Vedic age gave rise to a new era of progress in the field of Science, Technology and Development. The Hindu Scripture Vedas is synonymous with all kinds of original source of knowledge and intellectual wisdom in the universe leading to modern knowlege in modern mathematics. Indian mathematicians made tremendous contributions to the entire world of Mathematics and Science. Decimal number system as well as the invention of zero (0) are among the greatest contributions of Indian mathematicians. The theory of trigonometry, Mathematical Modelling, Algebra, algorithm, modern arithmetic, sine and cosine functions leading to modern trigonometry, Diophantine equation, square root, cube root, negative numbers are also developed by Indian mathematicians. In this review article, the work of some of the renowned Indian mathematicians from Indus Valley civilization and the Vedas to modern times are covered in short with the hope that it may reveal hidden fundamental mathematical ideas as basic ideal tools which may usefully motivate for further research work in every domain of mathematical sciences, natural and applied sciences, engineering and social sciences. Moreover, there are many more remarkable Indian mathematicians who contributed to the origin of mathematical sciences. They have made several general contributions to mathematics that have significantly influenced scientists and mathematicians in the modern times.

International Research Journal Commerce arts science

The study of Mathematics appears to show down after the onslaught of the Islamic invasions and the conversion of colleges and Universities to madrasahs. This was also the time when mathematical texts were increasing being translated into Arabic and Persian. The paper is therefore addressed to the introduction of Decimal system of Harappa ; Mathematical activity in Vedic Period, Panini and Scientific Notation, Indian Numeral system, Importance of Astronomy, Applied Mathematics as well as Philosophy and Mathematics.

Features, advantages and application of vedic maths.

Lets discuss here the advantages and importance of Vedic Maths, its features, and how its application in maths, technology have given benefits to children in school and in the real world. Discover the incredible and unparalleled benefits of Vedic Maths and skyrocket your mathematical proficiency to unprecedented heights with a vast array of time-saving techniques, mind-blowing shortcut methods, and razor-sharp mental math skills. From beginner-level grade school to advanced engineering, this ancient yet timeless Indian system of mathematics, with its diverse range of applications and mind-expanding possibilities, has the power to transform anyone into a veritable math genius and unleash their full mathematical potential beyond their wildest dreams.

Vedic Maths importance is known all over the world since it has helped million of students overcome maths fear and that they have been able to do calculations with ease. It has worked wonders and made maths look so easy for everyone. The credit for this goes to Shri Bharti Krishna Tirathji who is also called the Father of Vedic Maths . He wrote a book on it and it was called – Vedic Mathematics.  We have written about – What is Vedic Maths? check here . The book had several sutras for faster calculations and his methodology has become popular the world over. Please find below the advantages and application of Vedic Maths in detail below.

Logical and Consistent

The first advantage of Vedic Maths lies in its coherence. Its techniques are excellently interconnected, forming a systematic and unified approach to solving mathematical problems. For instance, the speed-building method of addition is intricately related to the speed-building methods of multiplication. This interconnectedness not only makes learning Vedic Maths easier but also enhances the implementation of these methods in solving sums. Each technique builds upon the other, fostering a logical and consistent problem-solving process. This coherence ensures that once a student grasps one method, they can easily adapt to others, creating a seamless learning experience. The logical flow and consistency of Vedic Maths make it a powerful tool for enhancing mathematical proficiency, offering a structured yet flexible approach that simplifies complex calculations and fosters a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts.

Time Saving Methods

time saving methods with short tricks in vedic maths

The second characteristic of Vedic Maths is its shortcut methods , known as Vedic Sutras. These Sutras are time-saving techniques and formulas that facilitate faster calculations while ensuring accuracy. By employing these shortcuts, students can significantly increase their calculation speed, which is particularly beneficial during exams and competitive tests. These methods are designed to simplify complex problems, making them more approachable and less intimidating for learners. The logical structure of Vedic Sutras allows students to develop a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts, rather than just memorizing procedures.

One common issue children face is rote learning of multiplication tables, which often leads to frustration and pressure from parents if they fail to recall them accurately. The traditional approach of memorizing tables can be tedious and stressful for many students, leading to a dislike for mathematics. However, with Vedic Maths, there is no need to memorize tables beyond nine. The techniques allow for easy and quick calculations of tables up to 19 or even higher, simplifying the learning process and reducing stress.

For example, the Nikhilam Sutra, one of the Vedic Sutras, can be used to perform multiplication of large numbers by breaking them down into smaller, more manageable components. This not only makes the calculation faster but also reduces the likelihood of errors. Another Sutra, the Ekadhikena Purvena, helps in finding squares of numbers ending in 5, providing a quick and efficient method to solve what might otherwise be a time-consuming problem.

These shortcut methods not only enhance computational efficiency but also make learning mathematics more enjoyable. They encourage a more intuitive and creative approach to problem-solving, allowing students to explore different ways of arriving at the correct answer. Vedic Maths thus offers a practical solution to common learning challenges, fostering a positive and productive mathematical experience for students. By making mathematics more accessible and less daunting, Vedic Maths can help students build confidence in their mathematical abilities and achieve greater academic success.

Methodology can be learnt in a short span of time

The third property of Vedic Maths is its short-term learning curve . The entire course can be completed in just 8 months, making it an efficient way to enhance mathematical skills within a relatively short period. This brevity in learning time is particularly advantageous for students who need quick improvements in their calculation speed and accuracy.

For younger students, specifically those in grades 3 to 5, there are junior Vedic Maths courses tailored to their level of understanding. These courses introduce foundational techniques that simplify basic arithmetic operations and build a strong mathematical base. As students progress to higher grades, from 6 to 10, they can enroll in senior Vedic Maths programs. These advanced courses delve deeper into complex mathematical concepts, equipping students with powerful tools to tackle higher-level problems.

The structured progression from junior to senior levels ensures that students receive age-appropriate instruction that grows with their cognitive abilities. By incorporating Vedic Maths into their curriculum, students can develop a lifelong appreciation for mathematics, gaining confidence and proficiency that extends beyond the classroom. This short-term yet comprehensive approach makes Vedic Maths an appealing option for both students and educators seeking effective and time-efficient mathematical training.

Vedic Maths Develops Mental Maths

The fourth advantage of Vedic Maths is that it significantly boosts mental maths skills. Mental Maths involves performing calculations in the head without relying on paper and pencil. This skill not only improves computational efficiency but also enhances self-confidence and fosters a genuine interest in mathematics. Vedic Maths, with its array of Sutras, excels in developing this capability in students.

The Sutras in Vedic Maths consist of various shortcut tricks and techniques that enable students to solve mathematical problems mentally. By mastering these methods, students can perform complex calculations quickly and accurately without the need for extensive written work. This reduction or elimination of rough work saves valuable time during exams and everyday calculations, allowing students to focus more on understanding and solving problems rather than getting bogged down by lengthy computations.

As students progress through different grades in school, the complexity of mathematical problems increases. Vedic Maths equips them with the necessary tools to tackle these challenges effectively. The mental agility developed through Vedic Maths helps students handle higher-level mathematics with ease, making them more competitive and confident in their abilities. This competitive edge is especially beneficial in academic settings, where speed and accuracy are often crucial for success.

Moreover, the emphasis on mental calculations makes mathematics more engaging and enjoyable for students. Instead of perceiving math as a daunting subject, they begin to see it as a series of interesting puzzles that can be solved quickly and efficiently. This positive attitude towards mathematics can lead to a lifelong appreciation for the subject, encouraging students to pursue further studies and careers in STEM fields.

The growing recognition of the benefits of Vedic Maths has led to its increasing importance in modern education. By enhancing mental maths skills, Vedic Maths not only prepares students for academic success but also equips them with valuable life skills that can be applied in various real-world situations.

Easy to Pick up

vedic maths in easy to learn

Another feature of Vedic Maths is its accessibility and ease of learning. Children can grasp the tricks and techniques quickly, thanks to the simple and intuitive methods it employs. Even students as young as those in grade 2 or 3 can start with a junior Vedic Maths program, which focuses on the four main pillars of mathematics: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

For instance, the trick of “making 10” uses a base value for numbers that is easy to understand and universally applicable. This method not only saves time for kids but is also quickly picked up, making it an efficient learning tool. Similarly, tricks for subtraction, multiplication, and other operations are designed to be easily comprehensible and memorable. Once students learn these tricks, they can perform calculations swiftly and accurately, which boosts their confidence and proficiency in mathematics.

The simplicity and effectiveness of these techniques mean that students can “Rock On” at Maths, turning what might have been a challenging subject into an enjoyable and rewarding experience. This approach demystifies complex calculations and fosters a positive attitude toward mathematics, encouraging students to engage with the subject more deeply and with greater enthusiasm.

The growing importance of Vedic Maths can be attributed to these factors. By making mathematics more accessible and enjoyable, it helps build a strong foundation in the subject from an early age. This early confidence and competence can lead to sustained interest and success in mathematics throughout a student’s academic career. The increasing recognition of Vedic Maths’ benefits highlights its role in modern education as a valuable tool for enhancing mathematical skills and fostering a lifelong love for learning.

DSP Application :

One of the sutras in Vedic Maths is called Nikhilam Sutra. Vedic Multiplier is based on this Sutra. It is said to be faster when implemented in the hardware. This multiplier can be efficiently used in any DSP application or in any DSP processor that requires low power consumption.

DSP implies Digital Signal Processing. The DSP operations are one of the important concepts in engineering. Some of the examples are Audio compression, digital image processing, compression of videos, speech processing, and recognition, digital communications, radio detection, and ranging systems, seismology, and sound navigation and ranging systems are examples of digital signal processing applications

The concept of multiplication as explained in Vedic Sutras of Nikhilam is used for the designing of DSP operations.

Use in Technology:

Vedic Maths Sutras are also used in technology. Now guess which one would this be. This is ‘ Ekadhikina Purvena and EkanyunenaPurvena. An example is   “  i<-i+1 or i<–i−1 “ which is used in the software. This has also been used in many android applications.

Application in Algebra

Vedic Maths Benefits Application in Algebra

Algebra is a branch of mathematics that deals with symbols and these symbols reflect quantities without fixed values, called variables and here equations represent relationships between variables. It has operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. 

Vedic Maths helps in building speed and accuracy in calculations which are based on addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, squares, roots, and higher calculations. Hence the students of Vedic Maths can easily apply the Vedic Sutras in algebra. As a result of their calculations shall be faster with accuracy than usual methods as taught in the school. This will eventually help in scoring high for kids in exams or olympiads.

Application in Geometry

Geometry figures in maths

Geometry has topics on angles, shapes, lines, and space and is very useful in arts, architecture, and astronomy. Calculating area for example of a rectangle requires multiplication as the formula for the same is  -length x breadth. The perimeter of a 2D shape implies you have to give the total distance around the specific shape, which implies adding all sides.

So, doing Geometry also involves the use of arithmetic operations implying if one is good at Vedic Maths, he or she will be good at Geometry and thereby shall also be more skillful in arts, architecture, and astronomy.

Clearly Vedic Maths has advantages that can make students brilliant in maths. It has the power that can make human beings maths genius. This reminds us of Shakuntla Devi who was called the Human-Computer in Maths. She also talks about how Vedic Maths has helped children in removing maths fear. Students have been able to score higher ranks in maths olympiads and scored higher in maths exams with the help of Vedic maths. It develops mental maths skills with a lot of short tricks and techniques. And its application is in all the branches of mathematics and not just arithmetic operations.
