Vedic Mathematics

Perhaps the most striking feature of the Vedic system is its coherence. Instead of a hotch potch of unrelated techniques the whole system is beautifully interrelated and unified the general multiplication method, for example, is easily reversed to allow one line divisions and the simple squaring method can be reversed to give one line square roots. And these are all easily understood.
This unifying quality is very satisfying, it makes mathematics easy and enjoyable and encourages innovation. In the Vedic system difficult problems or huge sums can often be solved immediately by the Vedic method. These striking and beautiful methods are just a part of a complete system of mathematics which is far more systematic than the modern system.
Vedic Mathematics manifests the coherent and unified structure of mathematics and the methods are complementary, direct and easy. The simplicity of Vedic Mathematics means that calculations can be carried out mentally though the methods can also be written down. But the real beauty and effectiveness of Vedic Mathematics cannot be fully appreciated without actually practising the system. One can then see that it is perhaps the most refined and efficient mathematical system possible.
