What is Vedic Maths?
Vedic Math’s is a collection of Techniques/Sutras to solve mathematical arithmetics 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.
- 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
- Veda is a Sanskrit word which means ‘Knowledge’.
- Using regular mathematical steps, solving problems sometimes are complex and time consuming. But 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.
Mathematics enthusiastic always have the questions What is Vedic Mathematics and What are the Techniques/Sutras in Vedic Mathematics. But when they try to go through the Vedic Mathematics books they get confused for some of the techniques, concepts and to understand this they search on internet. I found that not much information of Vedic Mathematics Sutras/Techniques is present over the internet.
By referring original book of Vedic Mathematics by Tirthaji Maharaj, I have tried to mention the Vedic Mathematics Sutras in a simpler and with step by step approach. I have solved lot of examples to make Vedic Mathematics Tricks understandable.

How does Vedic Maths help in academics?
Vedic Maths helps kids learn maths with a new approach. It helps sharpen the brain, enhances performance in class and helps in competitive exams.
Will Vedic maths help my child to enjoy maths subject in school?
New approach of learning maths will make your child enjoy learning maths and hence will develop interest about the subject.
Does Vedic Maths conflict anyway with academic studies?
No, Vedic maths does not conflict with academic studies. It makes students mentally agile and gives them newer approaches to solve problems. We already suggest students to write all steps down while solving maths problems in school and not to jump on answer as in Vedic maths.
How Vedic Maths is different from Abacus?
Many parents get confused between Abacus and Vedic Maths and think that these two techniques are same. However, Vedic maths is different from Abacus. There are many differences:
Children could start at an early age by learning Abacus and then move onto learning Vedic Maths.
Once the mind of a student develops an understanding of mental mathematics, he/she begins to think systematically and more creatively. In this article, we discussed some of the most basic Vedic maths tricks for beginners under different categories, with relevant examples and explanations.
It is very important to make children learn some of the Vedic maths tricks and concepts at an early stage to build a strong foundation for the child. It is one of the most refined and efficient mathematical systems possible.
However fascinating it might be to calculate faster using Vedic mathematics tricks, it fails to make a student understand the concepts, applications, and real-life scenarios of those particular problems.
