Vedic Mathematics for All Ages: A Beginners Guide - 16 Sutras for Mental Calculations Easily Explained Formulae with Practice Exercises

Description

The author has attempted to codify several useful results embedded in the ancient lore, in a form which is easily accessible to the children learning mathematics. Many of the chapters deal with computations using simple techniques which will shorten the effort involved in the conventional approach. The price one pays, of course, is that one has to learn the tricks, memorize them and use the appropriate one for each problem. While one might think that this takes away the generality of the modern approach, it certainly has the element of charm and intrigue which children [and grown-ups!] will find entertaining. Even working out why many of these approaches lead to correct results is a valuable exercise by itself. Contents: Foreword, Preface, Feedback, Introduction, 1.

Review: Excellent Book - Excellent book .. Chapters arranged very systematically for proper flow and build up of concepts.. Like it first deals with complements then goes to subtraction and so on ..this way it ll take very less time to develop skills of vedic maths.. Ve read several other books on the topic ..this one appears to be the best written in simplest words for better understanding. Excellent work for those interested in fast computations ..In my opinion is better than Trachtenberg Speed Math , Speed Mathematics: Secret Skills for Quick Calculation by Bill Handley or Secrets of Mental Math: The Mathemagician's Guide to Lightning Calculation and Amazing Math Tricks by Arthur Benjamin Review: Best mental math - Best mental math
