Vedic Mathematics: Sixteen Simple Mathematical Formulae From The Vedas

Bought this as a present and arrived on time, in plastic packaging for protection.

This book is amazing, the whole concept behind the vedic style of mathematics is worlds apart from how i originally learnt mathematics and have already replaced many areas of my maths for the vedic style.

If you are interested in INDIAN Sanskrit mathematics, buy this book.

I found this quite exciting to a certain point and got quite surprised when I could master some of the problems then I would have to admit that it got slowly beyond me at the high class stages.Charles W. Welch

It's been a long and drawn out battle to commit to Mathematics. My maths skills were never very good, average I would say. I had always wanted to remedy this, but found numerous texts very frustrating and unrewarding. This book however has changed all of that. It has completely altered my perception of the subject and significantly boosted my skills as it has armed my work ethic with the heaviest of artillery. I can finally commit to something free from doubt, that I can see bolstering my fundamentals and will take me exactly where I want to be. I simply could not have done this with any other body of work, not even Trachtenberg's work.Just an aside: I have noted quite a bit of criticism regarding the language used in this book. Certainly, it is not the kind of English you will hear today, but it's by no means poorly written or cumbersome. As a student of English literature and six other languages including Latin, I know bad writing when I see it and this is not it. If you are struggling to understand this book then please take a look at your own English! It's funny that none of the critics consider that their poor English, made obvious in their posts, could be the obstacle.The book is beautifully illustrated, presented, written and as wholesome as can be. If you are having trouble in mathematics then it's quite likely that, such as myself before purchase, your fundamentals are not where they should be. This is the book to provide a way forward and beyond the scope of anything you ever thought possible for yourself! It's been the foundation in a movement which has changed my life. 5 stars.

The logic is flawless but I'm struggling through - it's a much older style of writing, the kind used in grammar schools and universities in India - a style of language that is no longer used over here in the west, which makes the book difficult to read. Technically the writing is correct but the style often makes explanations unclear. Strunk & White would not approve! Apart from that the book is very, very advanced in it's mathematical content and anyone, at any level would benefit from the teachings.

IT IS NOT A BOOK FOR THE BEGINNER!IT IS NOT A BOOK FOR SOMEONE WHO LIKES CLEAR, ORGANISED AND UNSHOEHORNED WRITTEN INFORMATION!IT IS NOT A BOOK FOR SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T WISH TO LEARN SUTRA TERMINOLOGY!I've only recently purchased this book. The descriptions can be confusing and end at a point when you need them to continue. Granted, not all of the book is like this. Unfortunately, too much of it is. The authour refers to the names of sutras to explain how something works, thus, you need to learn these sutra names.There are sections in the book where the average person may need a dictionary to understand some of the words that are used.I couldn't face trying to work through the entire book. I only wanted to learn different/easier ways to look at math problems and thought that going to the source of 'Vedic Math' would be a good place to start. I'm now stuck with a book that I will probably never use and several pounds out of pocket.If only it was compulsary for the sellers of every book to make pages of the book advertised viewable!

You have to be a certain kind of person to get excited about these formulas. After all you can buy a calculator for a few pounds that will do all these calculations in seconds. But that is not the point. The pure symmetry and beauty of the Vedics is stunning. Just as the planets circle the sun with exact precision, these formulas that date back thousands of years are a thing of wonder and almost mystical. If you have time on your hands this is fascinating fodder.

Vedic maths book has such tricks and formula which helps in mentally solve long calculations. Every curious student must buy it.

Bought it for wifeSeems ok

Consiglio la lettura di questo testo a tutti coloro che sono interessati a conoscere la profondità del sapere contenuto nella letteratura vedica.

Fehler Seite 84:Bei Zeile "(5) Factorise x^3 -2x^2 -x +6"Richtig: "(5) Factorise x^3 -2x^2 -5x +6"Da Ich mich schon vorher mit den vedischen Rechenarten auseinandergesetzt habe - einerseits da sie die klassische Schulmathmatik lächerlich vereinfacht, andrererseits aus Eigeninteresse - bin ich auf dieses Buch gestoßen.Das Buch klappert so gut wie jede vedische Regel ab, sei es Vektorgeometrie oder Division mit unglaublichen Werten in Kopf. Es bietet dem Leser somit nicht nur die 0815-Regeln die man 100-fach im Internet findet, sondern bietet einen guten Einblick in die Möglichkeit, Rechnungen mit denen man sich in der eigenen Schulzeit schwer getan hat, mit simplen Regeln zu meistern.Vorraussetzungen sind dabei ein gutes Englisch (oder ein guter Übersetzer), Geduld und viel Zeit, da die Erklärungen im Buch meist etwas dürftig sind und von einem guten mathematischem Gefühl ausgehen.Für 11te, 12te Klasse und generell für alle Mathematikbegeisterten -oder Verhassten zu empfehlen.

This is an excellent book on mathematics. The author was an explendid human been and all his work were exceptionally powerful current of moral and spiritual enlightment.The sixteen mathematical formulae found by the author in the great Indian Vedas are a powerful tools for everyone that uses mathematics in his life (I mean everyone who is alive!). The formulae helps in doing evey calculus and helps to brain exercise.I bought the book from Amazon with a good price. The delivery was fast, near one month (I live in Brazil), two weeks less than the initial prevision.I recomend the book, and Amazon.
