Vedic Maths – Learn arithmetic and get algebra
I came across Vedic maths long ago in school and I was fascinated. Most of the books on Vedic maths focus so much on arithmetic that many people think that Vedic maths is not very useful in the age of calculators and computers. As we grow, our connection with any fundamental science reduces so much that we may only appreciate applied sciences and this is unfortunate for the development of fundamental sciences and we as humans. Even people who debate about Vedicness of these techniques, accept that these techniques reduce computation time for any human and weather you call it as Vedic or anything else it’s usefulness is not debatable. The point that I am going to focus today is how the simple multiplication technique in Vedic maths also explains algebraic formulae. To understand this better let me explain you a Vedic maths method to find a square of any number. Let’s take an example of 47 to understand the method. The method says square the second digit, then multiply the first a
