Vedic math was rediscovered from the ancient Indian scriptures between 1911 and
1918 by Sri Bharati Krishna Tirthaji (1884-1960), a scholar of Sanskrit, Mathematics,
History and Philosophy.
In the Vedic system huge sums can often be solved immediately. These striking and
beautiful methods are just a part of a complete system of mathematics which is far
more systematic than the modern system.
Flexibilty : In the Vedic system there
are general methods, that always work, for example a method of multiplication that
can be applied to any numbers. But the Vedic system has many special methods, when
a calculation has some special characteristic that can be used to find the answer
more easily. And it's great fun when you spot that method.
