Vedic Maths Programme
By: Magical Minds Academy
Vedic Mathematics is the name given to the ancient system of Indian Mathematics which was rediscovered from the Vedas between 1911 and 1918 by Sri Bharati Krsna Tirthaji (1884-1960). According to his research, all of mathematics is based on sixteen Sutras or word-formulae. For example, 'Vertically and Crosswise` is one of these Sutras. These formulae describe the way the mind naturally works and are therefore a great help in directing the student to the appropriate method of solution.
Perhaps the most striking feature of the Vedic system is its coherence. Instead of a hotchpotch of unrelated techniques, the whole system is beautifully interrelated and unified: the general multiplication method, for example, is easily reversed to allow one-line divisions, and the simple squaring method can be reversed to give one-line square roots. And these are all easily understood. This unifying quality is very satisfying, it makes mathematics easy and enjoyable and encourages innovation.
In the Vedic system, 'difficult' problems or huge sums can often be solved immediately by the Vedic method. These striking and beautiful methods are just a part of a complete system of mathematics which is far more systematic than the modern 'system'. Vedic Mathematics manifests the coherent and unified structure of mathematics and the methods are complementary, direct, and easy.

Interest in the Vedic system is growing in education where mathematics teachers are looking for something better and finding the Vedic system is the answer. Research is being carried out in many areas including the effects of learning Vedic Maths on children; developing new, powerful but easy applications of the Vedic Sutras in geometry, calculus, computing etc.
But the real beauty and effectiveness of Vedic Mathematics cannot be fully appreciated without actually practising the system. One can then see that it is perhaps the most refined and efficient mathematical system possible.

Magical Minds Vedic Maths
The course is divided in SIX levels, during the course we cover :-
Levels | Description |
Level 1 | - Compliments - Addition - Series Of addition (base 10,100) - Subtraction - Series Of subtraction (base 10,100) |
Level 2 | - Mixed series (base 10,100) - Digit sum Method - Multiplication Base method (less base, more base) - Multiplication by number which ends with 5 |
Level 3 | - Revision of Level-I - Addition (currency, time, qty, length) - Multiplication - Multiplication Series of 9, 11 - Criss cross Method (2, 3,4 digit) |
Level 4 | - Division by 9 - Division by Nikhilam - HCF & LCM |
Level 5 | - Division by Transpose and Adjust - Squares - Square root of perfect number |
Level 6 | - Cubes - Cube roots of Perfect numbers |
P. S. : The above 6 levels are basic and regular curriculum levels for Vedic maths but are quite exhaustive.

Apart from these, we have course material for 4 Advanced levels which comprise of the following:
- Square root of imperfect number
- Cube root of imperfect number
- Solving equations of x and y variables
- Area of Triangle
- Fraction
- Decimals
