Vedic Mathematics (Paperback)

by Jagadguru Sw. Sri Bharati Krsna Tirthaji Maharaja and Dr. V.S. Agarwal

The work, forms a class by itself, which is the result of the intuitional visualisation of fundamental mathe-matical truth and principles during the course of eight years of highly concentrated mental endeavour on the part of the author. The question naturally arises as to whether the Sutras which form the basis of this treastise exist anywhere in the Vedic literature as known to us. However, the subject is not to be approached from a factual standpoint but from the ideal standpoint, viz., as the Vedas are traditionally accepted in India as the repository of all knowledge. This approach entirely turns tables on all critics, for the authorship of Vedic mathematics then need not be laboriously searched in the texts as preserved from antiquity. At any rate, it is needless to dwell longer on this point of origin since the vast merit of these rules should be a mater of discovery for each intelligent reader. Whatever is written here by the author stands on its own merits and is presented as such to the mathematical world.

This present volume is part of a Parisista of the Atharvaveda. A list of these main 16 Sutra and of their sub-sutra or corollaries is prefixed in the beginning of the text.
