Vedic mathematics is a system of mathematics consisting of 16 sutras or aphorisms obtained from ancient Hindu scriptures called the Vedas. It was presented in the early 20th century by Bharati Krishna Tirthaji Maharaja, an Indian scholar. The sutras provide concise formulae for solving problems through unique techniques like vertically-and-crosswise calculations without needing multiplication tables beyond 5x5. Some examples include techniques for squaring numbers and multiplying multi-digit numbers mentally through a carry-over method. Vedic mathematics was applied in areas like astronomy, astrology and constructing calendars.

3. Most important sources for Vedic Mathematics are found in Astronomy, Astrology and Kalpa ( rules for rituals and ceremonies). Evidence is usually in the form of sutra s (a peculiar form of writing which is very concise and often uses a poetic style to capture the essence of argument or result).

18. Multiplication of Numbers over Hundred

19. Squaring numbers Squaring of Nine The nearest power of 10 to 9 is 10. Therefore, let us take 10 as our base. 2. Since 9 is 1 less than 10, decrease it by the deficiency ( 9 - 1 = 8). This is the leftmost digit of our answer. 3. On the right hand side put the square of the deficiency, which is 1². Hence, the square of nine is 81.
