This course “An Introduction to the Principles of Vedic Mathematics” aims at tantalizing students by teaching them simple word-formulae to solve complicated numbers. The idea, initially, is to do away with the negative mindset towards mathematics and create a paradigm shift towards the subject. By creating a curiosity and excitement towards numbers, this course, using various sutras, will offer a fresh and easy approach to number crunching. .

By studying this course, ‘difficult’ problems or huge sums can often be solved immediately through methods that are complementary, direct and easy. It helps a person solve mathematical problems 10-15 times faster. By practicing a flexible, mental system, students can invent their own methods and are not limited to the one ‘correct’ method. This leads to more creative, interested and intelligent students. It makes mathematics easy and enjoyable, & also encourages innovation. It helps in Intelligent Guessing (Knowing the answer without actually solving the problem) The simplicity of this system encourages mental calculations. It is a magical tool to reduce scratch work and finger counting. It also increases concentration and develops confidence. .

Any particular Vedic technique should be taught to a student only after he has understood the traditional way taught in school. An ideal age to start learning this course may be the 3rd or 4th grade (between 7 to 8 years) where the student has understood basic arithmetic.
