Indian Mathematics emerged in the Indian subcontinent from 1200 until the end of the
18 th century. In the classical period of Indian Mathematics (400 CE to 1600CE),
important contributions were made by scholars like Aryabhata, Brahmagupta,
Mahavira , Bhaskara , Madhava of Sangamagrama and Nilkantha Somajaji . The
decimal number system in use today was first recorded in Indian Mathematics. Indian
Mathematics made early contributions to the study of the concept of zero as a number,
negative number, arithmetic and algebra. In addition, trigonometry was further
advanced in India, and, in particular, the modern definitions of sine and cosine were
developed there. These Mathematical concepts were transmitted to the Middle East,
China, and Europe and led to further developments that now form the foundations of
many area of Mathematics.
Ancient and medieval Indian Mathematical works, all composed
in Sanskrit, and usually consisted of a section of Sutras in which a set rules or
problems were stated with great economy in versa in order to aid memorization by
students.
A later landmark in Indian mathematics was the development of the
series expansion for trigonometric functions (sins, cosines, and arctangent) by

Mathematician of the Kerala School in the 15 th century CE. Their remarkable work
completed two centuries before the invention of calculus in Europe, provided what is
now considered the first example of a power series .However, they did not formulate a
systematic theory of differentiation and integration, nor there do any direct evidence
of their results being transmitted outside Kerala.
The Vedic Mathematics is called so because of its origin from Vedas. To be
more specific, it originated from Atharva Vedas the fourth Veda. Atharva Veda
deals with the branches like Engineering, Mathematics, sculpture, Medicine, and all
other sciences with which we are today aware of. The Sanskrit word Veda is derived
from the root Vid, meaning to know without limit. The word Veda covers all VedaSakhas known to humanity. The Veda is a repository of all knowledge, fathomless,
ever revealing as it is delved deeper. Vedic mathematics, which simplifies arithmetic
and algebraic operations, has increasingly found acceptance the world over. Experts
suggest that it could be a handy tool for those who need to solve mathematical
problems faster by the day. It is an ancient technique, which simplifies multiplication,
divisibility, complex numbers, squaring, cubing, square roots and cube roots. Even
recurring decimals and auxiliary fractions can be handled by Vedic mathematics.
Vedic Mathematics forms partof Jyotish Shastra which is one of the six parts
ofVedangas . The Jyotish Shastra or Astronomy is made up of three parts called
Skandas. A Skanda meansthe big branch of a tree shooting out of the trunk .

TECHNIQUES FROM VEDIC MATHEMATICS


Alternate digit sum or Eleven-check Method
Suppose we want another check for 2434 23 = 55982 it can be done in the following
steps
Step1: Alternately add and subtract (starting from right moving towards left) the
digits of each
numbers as described below
Number Alternating signs Digit sum
2434 2 + 4 3 + 4 3
23 2 + 3 1
55982 +5 5 + 9 8 + 2 3
Step 2: Now multiply the Digit Sum to get the product 3 1 = 3 Since the Digit Sum
of the product
and the two numbers is the same, the answer is correct as per 11 check method.
Two digit and Negative number in the digit sum checking the sum of addition
4364 + 1616
Left to right
4364
1916
6280
Number Alternating signs Digit sum Single digit
4364 4 + 3 6 + 4 3 (11-3) 8
1916 1 + 9 1 +6 13(11+2) 2
6280 6 + 2 8 + 0 12 10
11 12 = 1
11 1 = 10
Step2: Apply the following rules to get a single positive digit for the number
Subtract the negative numbers below 11 from 11 to get its positive counterpart so 3
=11 3 = 8
And 12 = 12 +11 = 1 = 11 1 =10
For the two digit number above 11, divide the number by 11 and get the remainder
as the

Positive digit sum so 13 13 gives remainder 2. Alternately, adding and subtracting


digit of 13
starting from right can obtain this same result.

Easy way for multiplication


Sutra:Vertically and Cross wise :

For speed and accuracy tables are considered to be very important. Also students think
why to do lengthy
calculations manually when we can do them faster by calculators. So friends/ teachers
we have to take
up this challenge and give our students something which is more interesting and also
faster than a
calculator. Of course its us (the teachers/parents) who do understand that more we use
our brain, more
alert and active we will be for, that is the only exercise we have for our brain.
Example 1: 7 x8
Step 1: Here base is 10,
7 3 (7 is 3 below 10) also called deficiencies
8 2 (8 is 2 below 10) also called deficiencies
Step 2: Cross subtract to get first figure (or digit) of the answer: 7 2 = 5 or 8 3 =
5 , the two
difference are always same.
Step 3 : Multiply vertically i.e. 3 2 = 6 which is second part of the answer.
So, 7 3
8 2 i.e. 7 8 = 56
5/6
Example 2: To find 6 7

Step 1 : Here base is 10,


6 4 (6 is 4 less than 10) i.e. deficiencies
7 3 (7 is 3 less than 10) i.e. deficiencies
Step 2: Cross subtraction : 6 3 = 3 or 7 4 = 3 (both same)
Step 3: 3 4 = + 12 , but 12 is 2 digit number so we carry this 1 over to 3
( obtained in 2 step)
6 4
73
3 / (1) 2 i.e. 6 7 = 42

Squaring and square Roots


Square of numbers ending in 5 :
Sutra: By one more than previous one
Example: 75 75 or 752
As explained earlier in the chapter of multiplication we simply multiply 7 by the next
number i.e. 8 to
get 56 which forms first part of answer and the last part is simply 25= (5)2. So, 75
75 = 5625
This method is applicable to numbers of any size.
Example: 6052
60 61 = 3660 and 52 = 25
_ 6052 = 366025
Square of numbers with decimals ending in 5
Example : (7.5)2
7 8 = 56, (0.52) = 0.25

(7.5)2 = 56.25 (Similar to above example but with decimal)


Squaring numbers above 50:
Example: 522
Step1: First part is calculated as 52 + 2 = 25 + 2 = 27
Step2: Last part is calculated as (2) 2 = 04 (two digits)
_ 522 = 2704
Squaring numbers below 50
Example : 482
Step1: First part of answer calculated as: 52 2 = 25 2 = 23
Step2: second part is calculated as : 22 = 04
_ 482 =2304
Squaring numbers near base :
Example : 10042
Step1: For first part add 1004and 04 to get 1008
Step2: For second part42 = 16 = 016 (as,base is 1000 a three digit no.)
_ (1004)2 = 1008016
General method finding square root
Example 1 :
2809
Step1: Form the pairs from right to left which decide the number of digits in the
square root. Here
2 pairs therefore 2 - digits in the square root
Step 2: Now
28, nearest squares is = 25
So first digit is 5 (from left)
Step3: As 28 25 = 3 is reminder which forms 30 with the next digit 0.
Step 4: Multiply 2 with 5 to get 10 which is divisor

Now 3 10 = 30

3 /10 =
10

Q R
3 0

Step 5: As 3

and 9 9 (last digit of the number) = 0

2809 is a perfect square and 2

809 = 53

CONCLUSION

Vedic mathematics is certainly more integrated more fun than


conventional mathematics. It leads to greater enjoyment of mathematics, greater
flexibility of mind, increased mental ability and brings out the creativity. There is no
single method to follow in Vedic math , one can keep creating new methods. But still
Vedic math is not very popular as it is thought to be ancient etc. so lets start using
Vedic method and start loving math!!!!
