Vedic Mathematics by Jeganathan Sriskandarajah Vedic Mathematics is based on
16 sutras (or aphorisms) dealing with mathematics related to arithmetic, algebra, and geometry. These methods and ideas can be directly applied to trigonometry, plain and spherical geometry, conics, calculus (both differential and integral), and applied mathematics of var- ious kinds. It was reconstructed from ancient Vedic texts early in the last century by Sri Bharati Krsna Tirthaji…..When he heard about the parts of the Vedas containing mathematics, he resolved to study these scriptures and find their meaning. Between 1911 and 1918, he was able to decode from the ancient Sutras the mathematical formulae that we now call Vedic Mathematics…

Example 1. A simple idea for factorization of polynomial expressions of two or more variables is rooted in Adyamadyena Sutra Alternate Elimination and Retention. Let us consider, for example, the polynomial P(x, y, z) = 2x
2+ 6y 2 + 3z 2 + 7xy + 11yz + 7xz, which can be factorized by setting z = 0: P(x, y, 0) = 2x 2 + 7xy + 6y 2 = (2x + 3y)(x + 2y), (1) and next, setting y = 0: P(x, 0, z) = 2x
2 + 7xz + 3z 2 = (2x + z)(x + 3z). (2) By comparing the obtained factorizations (1) and (2) and completing each factor with the additional terms from the other factorization, we obtain the factorization of P(x, y, z)….
