We reserved this Sutra for the last of our 30 MATH-Inic Specials for Christmas because it depends largely on how much one has mastered the concepts presented in the previous specials. It also encourages adaptation and stimulates creativity because it shows how…
Our 29th Math Special for Christmas is about a “fun, fast and easy” way to convert a fraction with a prime number denominator into a recurring decimal. In our example here, instead of using the conventional method of dividing 3 by 19, we…
Our 28th Math Special for Christmas is the use of the Sutra By Addition and By Subtraction in solving simultaneous linear equations. Using this Sutra, we can easily eliminate a variable. This is especially handy in cases where the coefficients of…
The Vedic Mathematics Sutra or word formula “Transpose and Apply” has a much wider application than the “transposition” which we know in Algebra as a short cut of the “golden rule’ of Algebra: do unto one side of the equation,…
The Duplex is an important device in squaring numbers and polynomials, extracting square roots and solving quadratic equations. Its principles can be extended into triplex and beyond. The duplex of a number with an even number of digits is twice the sum…
Our 25th Math Special for Christmas is not of Vedic Math origin but it definitely adheres to the Vedic ideal of “at-sight-one-line-mental-solution”. I learned this technique from the video lessons of James Tanton, the resident mathematician at the Mathematical Association of…
