The Concepts of Vedic Mathematics.
                     THE CONCEPTS OF 
VEDIC 
MATHEMATICS
What is Vedic Mathematics?
◦ Vedic Mathematics is a collection of 
Techniques/Sutras to solve mathematical arithmetic's 
in easy and faster way. 
◦ It consists of 16 Sutras (Formulae) and 13 sub-sutras 
(Sub Formulae) which can be used for problems 
involved in arithmetic, algebra, geometry, calculus, 
conics.

Discovery of Vedic Mathematics
◦ Vedic Mathematics is a system of mathematics which was 
discovered by Indian mathematician Jagadguru Shri 
Bharathi Krishna Tirthaji in the period between A.D. 1911 
and 1918 and published his findings in a Vedic 
Mathematics Book by Tirthaji Maharaj.

Easy Technique
◦ Using Vedic Mathematic’s General Techniques 
(applicable to all sets of given data) and Specific 
Techniques (applicable to specific sets of given data), 
numerical calculations can be done very fast.

History Of Vedic Mathematics
◦ Shri Bharathi Krishna Tirthaji Maharaj was born in March 
1884 in the Puri village of Orissa. 
◦ He claims that these sutras/techniques he learnt from the 
Vedas especially ‘Rig-Veda’ directly or indirectly and he 
intuitively rediscovered them when he was practicing 
meditation for 8 years.

Manuscript Of Vedic Mathematics
◦ Later he wrote the sutras on the manuscripts but were 
lost. Finally in year 1957, he wrote introductory volume 
of 16 sutras which is called as Vedic Mathematics and 
planned to write other sutras later. 
◦ But soon he developed cataract in both of his eyes and 
passed away in year 1960.

Development of Vedic Math
◦ Some British mathematicians, including Kenneth 
Williams, Andrew Nicholas and Jeremy Pickles took 
interest in this new system. 
◦ They extended the introductory material of Bharati 
Krishna's book and delivered lectures on it in London. 
In 1981, this was collated into a book entitled 
Introductory Lectures on Vedic Mathematics.

Growing Popularity of Vedic Math
◦ Interest in Vedic Mathematics is growing in the field 
of education where Mathematics teachers are 
looking for a new and better approach to the 
subject.

Advantages of Vedic Mathematics
◦ Vedic Mathematics can definitely solve 
mathematical numerical calculations in faster way. 
◦ Some Vedic Math Scholars mentioned that Using 
Vedic Maths tricks you can do calculations 10-15 
times faster than our usual methods.

Application of Vedic Mathematics
◦ Ancient Indian wisdom like Yoga, Ayurveda, teachings of 
Chanakya etc. are all based on solid foundation 
principles and have been time-tested. Same for Vedic 
Maths as well. 
◦ Vedic Maths has many applications and is very relevant 
even to this day of computers and technology.

Future of Vedic Mathematics
◦ The future of Vedic Maths is very bright and I elated at the latest development under new 
Union Ministry where Incorporation of Indian knowledge systems in the curriculum, as 
recommended by an expert panel to the Human Resource Development ministry for the 
new National Education Policy.
