About this title

From the Back Cover

The remarkable system of Vedic Mathematics was rediscovered from ancient Vedic texts earlier this century. The Vedic system with its direct, easy and flexible approach forms a complete system of mental mathematics (though the methods can also be written down) and brings out the naturally coherent and unified structure of mathematics. Many of the features and techniques of this unique system are truly amazing in their efficiency and originality.

Being a mental system, Vedic Mathematics encourages creativity and innovation. Mental mathematics increases mental agility, improves memory, the ability to hold ideas in the mind and promotes confidence, as well as being of great practical use.

With the growing popularity of Vedic Mathematics in schools, a full Vedic Mathematics course, The Cosmic Computer course, has now been written which covers the National Curriculum Key Stage 3. This book is a shortened version of that course, containing the most striking of the Vedic methods. Though written for 11-14 year old pupils some of the earlier chapters would be appropriate for younger children and all of the material is suitable for older students as the content is so original. The coherence and freshness of the Vedic system will appeal to anyone who enjoys the beauty and precision of mathematics.
