These principles are general in nature and can be applied in many ways. In practice many applications of the sutras may be learned and combined to solve actual problems. These tutorials will give examples of simple applications of the sutras, to give a feel for how the Vedic Maths system works. These tutorials do not attempt to teach the systematic use of the sutras. For more advanced applications and a more complete coverage of the basic uses of the sutras, we recommend you study one of the texts available. N.B. The following tutorials are based on examples and exercises given in the book ‘Fun with figures’ by Kenneth Williams, which is a fun introduction some of the applications of the sutras for children. If you are having problems using the tutorials then you could always read the instructions. Tutorial 1 Tutorial 2 Tutorial 3 Tutorial 4 Tutorial 5 Tutorial 6 Tutorial 7 Tutorial 1 Use the formula ALL FROM 9 AND THE LAST FROM 10 to perform instant subtractions. ? For example 1000 - 357 = 643 We simply take each figure in 357 from 9 and the last figure from 10. So the answer is 1000 - 357 = 643 And thats all there is to it! This always works for subtractions from numbers consisting of a 1 followed by noughts: 100; 1000; 10,000 etc. ? Similarly 10,000 - 1049 = 8951 ? For 1000 - 83, in which we have more zeros than figures in the numbers being subtracted, we simply suppose 83 is 083. So 1000 - 83 becomes 1000 - 083 = 917 Vedic Maths Tutorial (interactive) http://www.vedic maths.org/Group%20Files/tutorial/tutorial.asp (1 of 12)2/10/2004 8:36:53 PM
Vedic Maths Tutorial (interactive) Try some yourself: 1) 1000 - 777 = 2) 1000 - 283 = 3) 1000 - 505 = 4) 10,000 - 2345 = 5) 10000 - 9876 = 6) 10,000 - 1101 = 7) 100 - 57 = 8 ) 1000 - 57 = 9) 10,000 - 321 = 10) 10,000 - 38 = Total Correct = Return to Index Tutorial 2 Using VERTICALLY AND CROSSWISE you do not need to the multiplication tables beyond 5 X 5. ? Suppose you need 8 x 7 8 is 2 below 10 and 7 is 3 below 10. Think of it like this: The answer is 56. The diagram below shows how you get it. You subtract crosswise 8-3 or 7 - 2 to get 5, the first figure of the answer. And you multiply vertically: 2 x 3 to get 6, the last figure of the answer. That’s all you do: http://www.vedic maths.org/Group%20Files/tutorial/tutorial.asp (2 of 12)2/10/2004 8:36:53 PM Reset Test
Vedic Maths Tutorial (interactive) See how far the numbers are below 10, subtract one number’s deficiency from the other number, and multiply the deficiencies together. ? 7 x 6 = 42 Here there is a carry: the 1 in the 12 goes over to make 3 into 4. Multply These: 1) 8 8 x 2) 9 7 x 3) 8 9 x 4) 7 7 x 5) 9 9 x 6) 6 6 x Total Correct = Here’s how to use VERTICALLY AND CROSSWISE for multiplying numbers close to 100. ? Suppose you want to multiply 88 by 98. Not easy,you might think. But with VERTICALLY AND CROSSWISE you can give the answer immediately, using the same method as above. Both 88 and 98 are close to 100….
