- Calculate from LEFT to RIGHT
- Multiply in ONE STEP
- Mental ONE-LINE ARITHMETIC

On seeing this kind of work actually being performed by the little children, the doctors, professors and other ‘big guns’ of mathematics are wonder struck and exclaim:- ‘Is this mathematics or magic? And we invariably answer and say: ‘It is both. It is magic until you understand it; and it is mathematics thereafter’
...Bharati Krsna Tithaji (1884-1960)

OUR METHOD

The Traditional Methods use numbers and symbols to learn mathematical computations like addition, multiplication, even algebra etc; and then use those to solve real life problems.

In the 20secondMath students first become PROBLEM SOLVERS and numbers and symbols and language become tools to solve the problems. Our multi step program first develops the ANALYTICAL reasoning and and CRITICAL thinking skills and later introduces SPEED techniques and encourages MENTAL MATH manipulations. Speed based on conceptual clarity stays for ever; speed based merely on rote memory vanishes quickly !

VEDIC MATH -
Vedic Mathematics is a super fast way of calculation whereby you can do complex calculations like 998 x 997 in less than five seconds flat. It is highly beneficial for school and college students and students who are appearing for their entrance examinations.

Imagine a maths class today, like in the times of old when knowledge was passed on as an oral tradition, and the teacher quickly calls or drills out certain numbers to multiply or divide and the children instantly reply with the correct intuitive answers! Today, in schools where these ancient Vedic techniques are used students perform remarkably well academically, viewing Mathematics as a Universal language and therefore often winning the highest competitive prizes in mathematics. Vedic Mathematics is the name given to ancient system of math which was discovered between 1911 and 1918 by Sri Bharati Krsna Tirthaji. Its based on ancient Hindu scriptures called Vedas. According to his research, all of mathematics is based on 16 sutras or word formulas. For example 'Vertically and Crosswise' is one of these sutras. These formulas are compatible with the natural workings of the mind and are therefore a great help in directing the student to the appropriate method of solution.

Perhaps the most striking feature of the Vedic system is its coherence. The whole system is beautifully interrelated and unified. The general multiplication method for example, is easily reversed to allow one line divisions, and the simple squaring method can be reversed to give one-line square root...and these are all easily understood. This unifying quality is very satisfying...it makes mathematics easy and enjoyable while encouraging innovation.

Difficult problems or huge sums can often be mentally 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, the methods are complementary, direct and easy.

This Vedic One-Line Mental Arithmetic is stimulating modern Mathematicians to adopt its simplicity and quickness. Once initiated to these Vedic rules, students of all ages will appreciate and enjoy the enhanced subject.

Vedic Mathematics promotes clarity and sharpness of mind as well as improving memory skills and self-confidence, by awakening the Pineal Gland (or Third Eye) to clairvoyantly see or intuitively know the predicted answer. Mystics say that the Pineal gland, located in the exact centre of the brain, was once the size of a large cherry, but now it is the size of a pea. Two reasons are that we drink denatured, defunct water and we no longer build the Mental Muscle, over-relying on calculators etc to solve simple problems. The brain is like a muscle; being 90% water, it needs to be hydrated with pure alive waters and regularly exercised.


The 16 sutras
There are 16 Sutras or simple Sanskrit Word Formulae which solve all known mathematical problems in the branches of Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry and Calculus. Once explained and put in context they are easy to understand, easy to apply and easy to remember.

For example by the application of the key Sutra called Vilokanam which means: “By Mere Inspection”, a child can know for example that the Cube Root of 35,937 without a calculator, to be equal to 33. By Mere Observation! No working out, no pen or paper. Mathematics without Tears.

Here are the 16 sutras:
  • By one more than the one before.
  • All from 9 and the last from 10.
  • Vertically and Cross-wise
  • Transpose and Apply
  • If the Samuccaya is the Same it is Zero
  • If One is in Ratio the Other is Zero
  • By Addition and by Subtraction
  • By the Completion or Non-Completion
  • Differential Calculus
  • By the Deficiency
  • Specific and General
  • The Remainders by the Last Digit
  • The Ultimate and Twice the Penultimate
  • By One Less than the One Before
  • The Product of the Sums
  • All the Multipliers

    • And the sub sutras:
  • Proportionately
  • The Remainder Remains Constant
  • The First by the First and the Last by the Last
  • For 7 the Multiplicand is 143
  • By Osculation
  • Lessen by the Deficiency
  • Whatever the Deficiency lessen by that amount and set up the Square of the Deficiency
  • Last Totalling 10
  • Only the Last Terms
  • The Sum of the Products
  • By Alternative Elimination and Retention
  • By Mere Observation
  • The Product of the Sums is the Sum of the Products
  • On the Flag
