Vedic Mathematics is derived from a Sanskrit word “Veda” which means “Knowledge”. It is a collection of techniques/sutras to solve mathematical problems in a faster and easy way. It has 16 Sutras ( Formulae) and 13 sub-sutras ( Sub Formulae). These sutras help to solve any problem related to arithmetic, algebra, geometry, calculus, conics. It is considered that by using Vedic Math tricks one can solve math problems 10 to 15 times faster than any other usual method.
These tricks are faster and easier and if done in their proper manner give accurate answers. They are very helpful for kids in their regular school work calculations.
