Afraid of Mathematics??? or Want to master it?? Try Vedic Mathematics - get rid of the fear and master the subject... It is a really cool concept consisting of a list of 16 basic sutras, or aphorisms. The 16 sutras are cryptic in the beginning, but practise unleashes their true power...
You need to see Vedic Mathematics in action to appreciate it fully the many special aspects and features. The main points are:
1) The system rediscovered by Bharati Krsna is based on sixteen formulae (or Sutras) and some sub-formulae (sub-Sutras). These Sutras are given in word form: for example Vertically and Crosswise and By One More than the One Before. These Sutras can be related to natural mental functions such as completing a whole, noticing analogies, generalisation and so on.
2) Not only does the system give many striking general and special methods, previously unknown to modern mathematics, but it is far more coherent and integrated as a system.
3) Vedic Mathematics is a system of mental mathematics (though it can also be written down).
Many of the Vedic methods are new, simple and striking. They are also beautifully interrelated so that division, for example, can be seen as an easy reversal of the simple multiplication method (similarly with squaring and square roots).
This is in complete contrast to the modern system. Because the Vedic methods are so different to the conventional methods, and also to gain familiarity with the Vedic system, it is best to practice the techniques as you go along.

That was a nice video on Vedic Maths.
Vedic Maths is a beautiful system if practiced properly.
