Vedic Mathematics: An Introduction

  • Vedic Mathematics comprises sixteen mathematical formulae discovered by Jagadguru Swami Sri Bharati Krishna Tirthaji Maharaj.
  • These formulae apply to various mathematical branches.
  • Complex problems can be solved quickly with few or no intermediate steps.
  • The word "Vedic" is used as an adjective, though the formulae aren't explicitly in the Vedas.
  • Swami Bharati Krishna Tirthaji Maharaj discovered these formulae through intuitive meditation.
  • Manuscripts were lost, but Swamiji reconstructed the knowledge from memory.

Maths is Interesting!

  • Many people dislike mathematics due to negative conditioning.
  • Introduces 'Mental Magic' techniques to change attitudes towards mathematics.
  • Examples include predicting date of birth and pocket money.
  • Explains a method to find the total without knowing the question.
How to Predict a Person's Date Of Birth
  • Ask people to take the number of their birth month, double it, add 5, multiply by 5, put a zero behind the result, and add their date of birth.
  • Subtract 50 from the last two digits to get the date and subtract 2 from the remaining digits to get the month.
How to Predict a Person's Pocket Money
  • Ask them to take the amount in their pocket, add 5, multiply by 5, double the answer, and add their favorite one-digit number.
  • Ignore the digit in the unit’s place; from the remaining number, subtract 5 to find the amount.
How to Find the Answer Without Knowing the Question!
  • Ask someone for a three-digit number. Subtract 2. Put 2 in the beginning. This becomes the final answer.
  • Subtract each digit of the initial number from 9 to get your number for the subsequent steps.

BASIC LEVEL

Miscellaneous Simple Method

  • Vedic Mathematics includes both specific and general techniques.
  • Specific techniques apply to particular number combinations.
  • General techniques have wider application.
Squaring of numbers ending with ‘5’
  • Multiply the non-five numbers with the next number and then multiply the last digits (5 × 5) and add 25 after it.
  • The technique also applies to multiplying numbers whose last digits add to 10 and the remaining digits are the same.
Squaring of numbers between 50 and 60
  • Add 25 to the digit in the units place for the left-hand part.
  • Square the digit in the units place for the right-hand part, converting to two digits if necessary.
Multiplication of numbers with a series of 9’s
  • Case 1: Subtract 1 from the number and subtract each digit from 9.
  • Case 2: Add zeros to make digits equal to the number of nines.
  • Case 3: Use normal practices of instant multiplication (multiply by (10n−1)(10^n - 1)).
Multiplication of numbers with a series of 1’s
  • Write the last digit as it is, then add two digits at a time, moving left.
  • When the multiplier is 111, add maximum three digits at a time, and so on.
Multiplication of numbers with a series of similar digits in multiplier
  • Convert the series of 2’s, 3’s, etc., to a series of 1’s by dividing by a certain number.
  • Multiply the multi
