Vedic Mathematics for Schools (Book III)

by James T. Glover

In this book the Vedic techniques are applied to ordinary school mathematics for eleven and twelve years-old. The arithmetic introduced in books I and II is extended. The book also deals with the initial stages of solving equations, coordinate geometry, approximations, indices, parallels, triangles, ratio and proportion as well as other topics. Once a basic grounding has been established with the Vedic methods the next stage is the beginning of discrimination. A problem is set and, armed with several techniques, the student must choose the easiest or most relevant for achieving the solution. This book deals with some of the steps required for this training.
