    3. History and Origins of Vedic Arithmetic

    Vedic Arithmetics is a part of Vedic Maths, and it is derived from ancient times Indian scriptures known as the "Vedas", specifically the "Atharva Veda," one of the four pillars of Vedic knowledge.

    The foundational concepts of Indian mathematics were present in the Vedas in the form of texts thousands of years ago.

    Swami Shri Bharati Krishna Tirtha Maharaj, an Indian Mathematician, developed the modern method system of Vedic Mathematics in 1911-1918 A D

    3.1 Role of Shri Bharathi Krishna Tirthaji Maharaj

    Shri Bharathi Krishna Tirthaji Maharaj is a scholar and former Shankaracharya of Puri in the 20th century.

    He spent years studying the Vedas, through deep meditation and research, he rediscovered Sixteen mathematical Sutras and Thirteen sub-sutras that can be applied to modern mathematical concepts, allowing us to solve any complex mathematical problem simply and quickly with a deeper understanding, and removing math stress.

    4. Key Techniques in Vedic Arithmetic

    Vedic arithmetic calculations can be applied to basic mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, Squares, Cubes, and their roots.

    These concepts are covered under a few sutras like Ekadhikena purvena, Ekanyunena Purvena, Nikhilam Navatashcaramam Dashatah, Yavadunam Tavadunam, Yavadunam Tavadunikrtya Varganca Yojayet, Urdhva Tiryagbhyam, and many more. These are a collection of methods found during the Vedic period that provide a solution for kids in developing the discipline of Mathematics.

    Let us learn the Key techniques now.

    4.1 Addition and Subtraction Tricks

    We have Fast Additions using the left-to-right calculation method and Addition for consecutive number series.

    Addition and Subtraction Tricks - The Vedic Maths - Mamta Rupesh

    Subtraction based on Base Subtraction using Nikhilam Navatashcaramam Dashatah Sutra to find the complement.

    To find the complement (deficiency) of any number to the next base (nearest base, also called working base), subtract all the other digits (except the last) from 9 and the last digit from 10.

    Base Subtraction - The Vedic Maths - Mamta Rupesh

    4.2 How Do You Multiply Using Vedic Maths Tricks?

    In conventional maths, there is only one calculation method available to calculate Multiplication, i.e., multiplying with a given multiplicand and multiplier and finding a solution. But in Vedic maths, there are smarter and more efficient methods available to find answers.

    Vedic Mathematics made Multiplication easy and fast.

    For example, Multiplication when numbers are near the base, vertically and crosswise, Multiplication by 999’s, 5’s, 11’s, 12…..99 etc

    Vertical and Crosswise Multiplication - The Vedic Maths - Mamta Rupesh

    4.3 Division Shortcuts

    Division may seem more complex than multiplication, but with Vedic Maths, you'll discover that it can be just as fast and efficient. You will learn several Interesting Division Tricks that make complex division problems easier to solve and understand. These techniques will empower you to quickly and accurately perform division, even with large numbers or tricky divisors.

    Basically, there are 3 methods we can use in Division.

    i. Division By Base Method

    ii. Long Division In One Line

    iii. Magic Division

    Here is an Example of division of 2296 by 41 with the Vedic Maths trick.

    Magic Division using Vedic Maths Tricks - The Vedic Maths - Mamta Rupesh

    4.4 Squares, Cubes, and Their Roots

    Squares and Cubes are the Best Part of Vedic Mathematics. We have a couple of tricks that give easy ways to find answers in a few seconds.

    Many students face difficulties in finding exact Squares, Square Roots, Cubes, and Cube Roots, which are very difficult under the Conventional method, but the formulas here are just amazing. Once you get started, I’m sure you will find it very easy.

    You will not only learn tricks for special numbers like 5, 9, etc.

    You also learn tricks for Random Number Calculations Squares by Dulex step method, Squares and cubes by base number, Square roots of perfect square etc.

    Here is an example to find perfect squares and cubes and their roots with Vedic math tricks.

    5. School Arithmetic (Conventional Math) Vs Vedic Arithmetic

    We usually learn Mathematics in traditional methods, such as step-by-step procedures, lengthy calculations, and relying on pen and paper, while working with the school syllabus. While this method works, it leads to a slow process, Math phobia in kids, time consumption, and sometimes it can be stressful too.

    Vedic Arithmetic offers an alternative to the conventional method. Vedic Mathematics tricks focus on mental calculations, mental tricks, and simplifying complex calculations in a few steps.

    Let us see the comparisons between conventional Arithmetic and Vedic Arithmetic

    5.1 Time Comparison and Complexity of Steps

    Traditional Methods lead to slow math as it takes a lot of steps to solve the problems.

    Vedic Arithmetic leads to Fast math as it takes only a few steps to solve any complex problem.

    Let us see the complexity of school maths and Vedic Arithmetic.

    For Example, let's multiply 3652 x 9999

    • Traditional School Maths Method:

    3652        × 9999

    Step 1: 32868   ← 3652 × 9 (units)

    Step 2: 32868    ← 3652 × 9 (tens, shift one place)      

    Step 3: 32868     ← 3652 × 9 (hundreds, shift two places)     

    Step 4: 32868      ← 3652 × 9 (thousands, shift three places)

    ---------- 

    Step 5: 36516348 ← Add all the products

    Final Answer = 36,516,348

    Conventional Maths Vs Vedic Maths - The Vedic Maths - Mamta Rupesh
      • Vedic Arithmetic Method (Base = 10000)

      Step 1:

      9999 is 1 less than 10000 → deficit = 1

      3652 is 6348 less than 10000

      Step 2:

      Left part = 3652 – 1 = 3651

      Right part = 6348

      Answer:

      3651 ∣ 6348=36,516,348

      As you can see, the conventional method takes 3 minutes to solve 3652 x 9999, while Vedic maths takes just 10 seconds.

      Traditional school Math teaches to solve math problems in several long steps.

      Vedic Arithmetic uses maths tricks and reduces steps to solve any complex problem

      To solve 3652 x 9999 in the conventional method requires 5 steps, and Vedic maths is just 2 steps.

    5.2 Stress and Accuracy

    Traditional math often involves lengthy procedures that can lead to stress and confusion. It also takes more time to verify if the chosen method is correct or to arrive at the right answer.

    Vedic Arithmetic, with its stress-free Vedic math tricks, increases kids' math confidence, cognitive skills, speeds up mental processes, and concentration abilities.

    Since Vedic Arithmetic requires fewer steps, students can save calculation time and increase math calculation speed. Vedic arithmetic reduces anxiety and improves mathematical abilities and confidence.
