Ekadhikena Poorvena

The meaning of Ekadhikena Poorvena is one more than the previous one. We can use this technique in multiplication of two numbers. We can use this technique iff the sum of two numbers in the ten's position(shown in red colour) is 10 and other position(shown in blue colour) of multiplicand remain same. For example: 2 5 × 2 5 3 8 × 3 2 4 3 × 4 7 13 6 × 13 4 etc. Now you may get idea about when you have to use this vedic mathematic technique. Now we can check first case 25×25. In this case the 2 is poorva padham(previous number) and hence ekadhikena poorvena(one more than previous one; poorva padham) is 2+1=3. Now interesting to know that, 25×25= 2×(2+1)/(5×5)            = 6/25=625 Same way, • 38×32= 3×(3+1)/(8×2)              = 12/16=1216 • 43×47= 4×(4+1)/(3×7)              = 2021 • 136×134= 13×(13+1)/(6×4)             ...

In this blog , the words Sutra, aphorism, formula is used synonymously. So are also the words Upa-sutra, Sub-sutra, Sub-formula, corollary used. The Sutras apply to and cover almost every branch of Mathematics. They apply even to complex problems involving a large number of mathematical operations. Application of the Sutras saves a lot of time and effort in solving the problems, compared to the formal methods presently in vogue. Though the solutions appear like magic, the application of the Sutras is perfectly logical and rational. The computation made on the computers follows, in a way, the principles underlying the Sutras. The Sutras provide not only methods of calculation, but also ways of thinking for their application. This course on Vedic Mathematics seeks to present an integrated approach to learning Mathematics with keenness of observation and inquisitiveness, avoiding the monotony of accepting theories and working from them mechanically. The explanations offered make th...

Vedic Mathematics

The “Vedic Mathematics” is called so because of its origin from Vedas. To be more specific, it has originated from “Atharva Vedas” the fourth Veda. “Atharva Veda” deals with the branches like Engineering, Mathematics, sculpture, Medicine, and all other sciences with which we are today aware of. The Sanskrit word Veda is derived from the root Vid, meaning to know without limit. The word Veda covers all Veda-Sakhas known to humanity. The Veda is a repository of all knowledge, fathomless, ever revealing as it is delved deeper. It is an ancient technique, which simplifies multiplication, divisibility, complex numbers, squaring, cubing, square roots and cube roots. Even recurring decimals and auxiliary fractions can be handled by Vedic mathematics. Vedic Mathematics forms part of Jyotish Shastra which is one of the six parts of Vedangas. The Jyotish Shastra or Astronomy is made up of three parts called Skandas. A Skanda means the big branch of a tree shooting out of the trunk. This s...
