A A Brief Account of Computational Vedic and Ancient Indian Mathematics
Abstract
The Vedas mentioned some rules for mathematical calculations and
their operations. The system of mathematics based on these rules
is known as Vedic mathematics. Vedic mathematics was written in
the Vedic age. In India, the Vedic mathematics was searched by Sri
Bharati Krishna Tirtha ji Maharaja between 1911 and 1918 from an
cient scriptures. In the present communication, the origin and de
velopment of Vedic mathematics are discussed. The applications of
Vedic mathematics are illustrated by solving multiplication problems
in very short time. Its application in computing multiplication and
future plan of its expansion is explained. Ancient Indian mathematics
with important discoveries like decimal system, numerals, zeros and
infinity are also discussed. The important works of four Indian math
ematicians has also been mentioned in the research paper. "a" ’a’ á
