Vedic Mathematics For Schools : Part 3

In this book the Vedic techniques are applied to ordinary school mathematics for eleven and twelve years-old. the arithmatic 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.
Review :
“The examples and exercises have been arranged with care and the grading of the letter shows every evidence of the same pedagogic thoroughness. The exercises have been beautifully structured, presenting a mixed bag of fairly straightforward stuff, with many stimulating questions going well beyond the merely routine. For this reason, if no other, the book deserves to serve as a model for text books at this level, in use in this country.” – A.K. Vijaykumar, The Hindu, Tuesday, Feb. 27, 1996.

“Being the third book in this series, the Vedic Mathematics for Schools automatically assumes that some of the basic concepts of mathematics have already been studied by the student. It is an introduction to the rich mathematical heritage of India. Produced with the intent of engrossing the young mind of a school-going child in the intellectually agile world of Vedic mathematics, this book meets its goal eminently. The various problems of arithmetic, geometry and algebra have been elucidated and solved in a most lucid manner by using these sutras. One is simply awe-struck at the versatility of these sutras. They make arduous mathematical situations look terribly simple to solve. I have taught some of the principles contained in this book to my students in the B. Ed. classes. They have found these techniques extremely simple, less time consuming and less likely to lead to mistakes. … highly recommended to the seekers of knowledge of mathematics.”-Dr. P.S.Charak, Prof. of Mathematics, G.G.M. Science College, Jammu.
