Vedic Maths, as the name suggests has its roots in India. This fastest calculating system has been derived from the Atharva Veda by Bharati Krishna Tirathji Maharaj in between 1911 to 1918. He formulated 16 sutras to make mathematical calculations simple and accurate.

The Vedic Maths is an ancestor of the mathematics being applied into study today. In simpler terms it means that the mathematical tricks and formulas and even theorems we use today is derived from Vedic Maths itself and have now been advanced and modified as per the modern requirements.

The 16 sutras are namely:
1. Nikhilam Navatascaramam Dastah which means €all from nine & last from ten€
2. Ekadhikena Purvena which means €One more than the previous one€
3. Urdhva - Tiryagbhyam which means €Cris-Cross€
4. Paravartya Yojayet which means €Transpose and Adjust€
5. Sunyam Samyasamuccye which means €When the samuchchaya is the same, It should be treated/equated to zero€
6. (Anurupye) Sunyamanyat which means €If one is in ratio, the other one is zero€
7. Sankalana Vyavakalanabhyam which means €By addition & by subtraction€
8. Puranapuranabhyam which means €By completion or non - completion€
9. Calana Kalanabhyam which means €Differential€
10. Yavadunam which means €Double€
11. Vyastisamastih which means €Use the average€
12. Sesanyankena Caramena which means €The remainders by the last digit€
13. Sopantyadvayamantyam which means €The ultimate and twice the Penultimate€
14. Ekanyunena Purvena which means €One less than the previous€
15. Gunitasamuccayah which means €The product of the sum of Co-efficients in the factors€
16. Gunakasamuccayah which means €When a quadratic expression is a Product of two binomials then its first differential is Sum of two factors€

Now, with the help of these 16 sutras even the most complex numerical problems can be solved easily within almost no time without making the use of pen and paper and only with the help of mental math. We all are aware of the benefits of Vedic Maths being fast, accurate and straight forward method but there are numerous other benefits which are highlighted below:

1. It reduces the effort of learning tables of big numbers instead requires you to learn tables only from 1 to 9
2. It increases concentration as it enhances functioning of the complete brain
3. It enhances the vision as it develops the ability to link the problems with all possible approaches which can be used for deriving the solution
4. It makes the mind alert and conscious to grasp things easily
5. It generates the ability of multi-dimensional thinking in a person
