Vedic Mathematics Or Sixteen Simple Mathematical Formulae from The Vedas (For One-line Answers to All Mathematical Problems)

This new edition of the seminal work, Vedic Mathematics by Shankaracarya Shri Bharati Krishna Tirthaji, is a reformat of the original text but enlarged to improve accessibility. Since first publication in 1965, well over one million copies have been sold. Interest in the Vedic methods continues to grow, not just in India, but in many countries around the world.

Over the years, controversies about authenticity have arisen together with views that this work just comprises a set of mathematical tricks. This edition includes a new introduction by James Glover, who has some 50 years’ experience of researching and teaching Vedic mathematics, that sets out exactly what is Vedic mathematics, how it can be studied with open-mindedness, and how the sutras underpin mathematical thinking processes of all types. The sutras express blueprints of mental activities which connect together diverse topics thereby integrating mathematics into a unified whole. This humanizing approach provides an enjoyable and wholly different orientation to the subject and, as such, forms a new paradigm for mathematics.
