Riassunto

This epic and monumental work on Vedic Mathematics unfolds a new method of approach. It relates to the truth of numbers and magnitudes equally applicable to all sciences and arts. The book brings to light how great and true knowledge is born of intuition, quite different from modern Western method. The ancient Indian method and its secret techniques are examined and shown to be capable of solving various problems of mathematics. The universe we live in has a basic mathematical structure obeying the rules of mathematical measures and relations. All the subjects in mathematics--Multiplication, Division, Factorization, Equations, Calculus, Analytical Conics, etc.--are dealt with in forty chapters, vividly working out all problems, in the easiest ever method discovered so far. The work, forms a class by itself, which is the result of the intuitional visualization of fundamental mathematical truth and principles during the course of eight years of highly concentrated mental endeavour on the part of the author. The question naturally arises as to whether the Sutras which form the basic of this treastise exist anywhere in the Vedic literature as known to us. However, the subject is not to be approached from a factual standpoint but from the ideal standpoint, viz., as the Vedas are traditionally accepted in India as the repository of all knowledge. This approach entirely turns tables on all critics, for the authorship of Vedic mathematics then need not be laboriously searched in the texts as preserved from antiquity. At any rate, it is needless to dwell longer on this point of origin since the vast merit of these rules should be a matter of discovery for each intelligent reade

Recensione:

This is now the de-facto epitome of Vedic Math condensed from various parchments strewn all over - what was part of the Atharvana Veda which was lost to India over the centuries. If you wish to master this lost science (err.. Math) that was lost to generations of mankind, get this book. You will be amazed at the myriad ways to go about solving simple math problems. --By Gopalan S. Raj on November 25, 2007

I wish I had learned Vedic Math in School / at least in University. My friend (Professor) recommended this book and his kids adopted Vedic Math and have been toppers in Math! So, I did some research and bought this book and was amazed by the knowledge it has - 16 basic formula / sutras! I myself got interested and vowed to teach this practical and best approach for speed Math to my children. This book is NOT meant for beginners. I highly recommend the following definitive book on Vedic Math: --By S. KUMAR on February 27, 2009

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. --By renatopri on November 30, 2011
