Vedic Mathematics or Sixteen Simple Mathematical Formulae from the Vedas Sri Bharati Krisna Tirthaji, V. S. Agarwala
Publisher: Orient Book Distributors

A unique technique of calculations based on simple rules and principles, with which any mathematical problem – be it arithmetic, algebra, geometry or trigonometry – can be solved, hold your breath, orally! Vedic math was rediscovered from the ancient Indian scriptures between 1911 and 1918 by Sri Bharati Krishna Tirthaji (1884-1960), a scholar of Sanskrit, Mathematics, History and Philosophy. According to his research all of mathematics is based on sixteen Sutras, or word-formulae. The term Vedic Mathematics now refers to a set of sixteen mathematical formulae or sutras and their corollaries derived from the Vedas. So in mathematical calculations involving this formula, we generally consider the given number and another number whose value is one greater than the given number. 'Vedic Mathematics', as it is called, remained hidden in the Vedas for many centuries. Earlier I had written an article on the Origin and History of Modern Mathematics, followed up by a simple lesson on instant Multiplication using Vedic Mathematics. We now have one carrying since 2×8=16; 368421 which is [(2x6)+1,68421]. Then the late Shankaracharya, Bharati Krishna Tirthaji Maharaj, extracted the 'Sixteen Simple Mathematical Formulae' from the Vedas. Vedic Mathematics Lessons based on the Sutra Ekadhikena Purvena.
