Vedic Mathematics is the name given to the ancient system of Mathematics which was rediscovered from the Vedas between 1911 and 1918 by Sri Bharathi Krishna Tirthaji who was the Sankaracharya of GovardhanMatha in Puri. According to his research, there are just 16 Jaw- Dropping Sutras or Word Formulae which solve all known mathematical problems in the branches of Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry and Calculus. They are easy to understand, easy to apply and easy to remember. Thus, Vedic maths is very simple, direct, totally unconventional, original and straight forward.

In the Vedic system 'difficult' problerms or huge sum can often be solved immediately by the Vedic method. These striking and beautiful methods are just a part of a complete system of mathematics which is far more systematic than the modern 'system'. Vedic Mathematics manifests the coherent and unified structure of mathematics and the methods are complementary, direct and easy.

The simplicity of Vedic Mathermatics means that calculations can be carried out mentally (though the methods can also be written down). There are many advantages in using a flexible, mental systern. Pupils can invent their own methods, they are not limited to the one 'correct' method. This leads to more creative, interested and intelligent pupils.
