Vedic Mathematics

Well as the name misguides, let me first tell y'all this type of Maths has no similarity or relation to the earliest literature texts, it is called Vedic Maths because it's founder loved the Vedas.

The complete guide to Vedic Maths is in a book written by 'Dhaval Bathia' titled "Vedic Mathematics".

I will be showing one such technique.
Let's consider a 2-digit number ending with 5, whose square we want to find.
Normally, we would multiply and get:

(let's say 25)
                            2  5
                        x  2  5
-----------------------------------
                     1   2    5
                     5   0    x
------------------------------------
                     6   2    5


However this is the long way round. In Vedic Maths, we follow simple steps.
Let's consider 25
The steps for squaring it is:
1. We should remember that all squares of numbers ending with 5, have their last two digits as 25.
2. Therefore, we write the answer as _____25
3. Next we multiply the remaining digits except 5 with the number corresponding to them. In case of 25, the number instead of 5 is 2.
4. Therefore, we multiply 2 with its corresponding number, ie, 3
5. Hence we get 6.
6. Thereby, we can write the answer as 6|25

Hence, our final answer becomes 625.
Therefore, we reduce a lot of time and energy. In fact we can even do it mentally.

The word with the most definitions in English is 'Set'. It has 900 lines of meanings in the Standard Oxford Diction of England Dictionary.
