A DETAILED EXPLORATION OF VEDIC MATHEMATICS: UNDERSTANDING SUTRAS, SUB-SUTRAS, AND THEIR PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS

Vedic Mathematics, derived from the ancient Indian scriptures known as the Vedas, offers a powerful and systematic approach to solving complex mathematical problems using 16 primary sutras and 13 sub-sutras. These techniques, rediscovered in the 20th century by Jagadguru Swami Bharati Krishna Tirthaji Maharaj, provide mental shortcuts and patterns that dramatically simplify calculation methods. This paper aims to provide an in-depth analysis of all the sutras and sub-sutras, their applications in arithmetic, algebra, geometry, calculus, and their benefits over traditional mathematical methods. Furthermore, the paper will delve into real-life applications, advantages, and limitations of Vedic Mathematics, along with its potential to revolutionize modern educational practices.
