In these ancient scriptures, lie the basic principles of mathematics, such as algebra, the idea of zero and so on. This label \u2018Vedic mathematics\u2019 was given when it was rediscovered by seer Mathematician <em>Sri Bharati Krsna Tirthaji<\/em> between 1911 and 1918. He researched it for a better understanding and made it a subject of study for maths students.<\/p>\n<p>Vedic mathematics helps in simple and fast calculations. It comprises 16 <em>sutras<\/em> (word formulae) using which, it is possible to solve all sorts of mathematical problems. Unlike other mathematical formulae, these <em>sutras<\/em> can be memorized easily. Thus, it makes mathematics easy for students.<\/p>\n<p>In today\u2019s competitive world, Vedic maths is a great boon for students. By applying these formulae, students can calculate all mathematical problems, without using paper, pen and even a calculator. \u00a0\u00a0The most interesting feature of this Vedic system lies in its coherence. Through this system, a student does not learn unconnected methods and tricks just to solve math problems on hand. The whole system is interrelated and often the methods used complement each other. Practices like division and square roots are much simpler in this method.<\/p>\n<p>Notwithstanding the availabilities of innovative technologies, methods and advanced calculators, math phobia is still prevalent in the country. Given this, teachers and parents should encourage students to learn Vedic maths. Some benefits that students can get from this method are as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It reduces the need to remember figures. A student needs to learn tables only up to 9.<\/li>\n<li>It saves time in a multiple-choice format.<\/li>\n<li>It lays more emphasis on mental calculations, thereby increasing a student\u2019s knowledge of mathematics.<\/li>\n<li>It requires no finger counting.<\/li>\n<li>Its methods are simple&#8211;original and direct.<\/li>\n<li>It helps a student grasp the links between different branches of maths.<\/li>\n<li>It also contains the procedures that can be used to crosscheck an answer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Image Credit:\u00a0FreeDigitalPhotos.net<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vedic mathematics was an integral part of the Vedas.
