About Vedic maths

 Vedic Mathematics is a system of mathematics that originated in ancient India. It is based on a collection of mathematical techniques and principles found in the ancient texts called the Vedas. The Vedas are ancient Hindu scriptures that contain a wide range of knowledge, including mathematics.
Vedic Mathematics was reintroduced to the world in the early 20th century by Sri Bharati Krishna Tirthaji Maharaja, a scholar and mathematician. He claimed to have discovered these mathematical techniques while studying the Vedas. According to his teachings, Vedic Mathematics provides simpler and faster methods for performing mathematical calculations compared to conventional methods.
The main idea behind Vedic Mathematics is to use a set of sutras (aphorisms) to simplify mathematical operations. These sutras are concise and easily applicable formulas that can be used to perform various mathematical computations. Some of the well-known sutras in Vedic Mathematics include "Vertically and Crosswise" (Nikhilam), "All from 9 and the Last from 10" (Ekadhikena Purvena), "By One More than the Previous One" (Anurupyena), and "Completion" (Yavadunam).
Vedic Mathematics covers a wide range of mathematical topics, including arithmetic, algebra, geometry, calculus, and more. It provides techniques for mental calculations, multiplication, division, squaring, cubing, finding square roots, solving equations, and solving geometric problems, among others.
Proponents of Vedic Mathematics claim that it improves mathematical skills, enhances mental agility, and promotes a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts. However, it's worth noting that while Vedic Mathematics can be a useful tool for some individuals, it is not widely accepted in mainstream mathematics education. Conventional methods taught in schools and universities are still the primary approach to mathematics worldwide.

Chalana-Kalanābhyām

  Chalana-Kalanābhyām " is a Vedic mathematics sutra that translates to "By addition and by subtraction." This sutra is used for solving algebraic equations and simplifying expressions involving addition and subtraction. When applied to algebraic equations, this sutra suggests that you can add or subtract terms from both sides of an equation to solve for an unknown variable. For example, if you have the equation  3x+7=19, you can use "Chalana-Kalanābhyām" by subtracting 7 from both sides to isolate  3x+7−7=19-7 3×=2 This technique makes solving equations more efficient by manipulating both sides of the equation simultaneously. Similarly, "Chalana-Kalanābhyām" can be used to simplify expressions by breaking down complex terms using addition and subtraction rules.

Solving linear equation of the form ax+b=c

  Sankalana-vyavakalanabhyam" is another Vedic Mathematics sutra that deals with solving linear equations. The phrase can be translated as "By addition and by subtraction." This sutra is used to solve equations of the form ax + b = c or ax - b = c, where 'a,' 'b,' and 'c' are constants, and 'x' is the variable you need to find. The process involves two steps: Sankalana (Addition): If the equation is of the form ax + b = c, the first step is to isolate the variable term (ax) on one side of the equation. To do this, you subtract 'b' from both sides of the equation. For example, if you have the equation 3x + 5 = 14, you perform the following steps: 3x + 5 - 5 = 14 - 5 3x = 9 Vyavakalana (Subtraction): In the second step, you isolate the variable (x) by dividing both sides of the equation by the coefficient of the variable (in this case, 'a').F or the example above, you divide both sides by 3: (3x)/3 = 9/3 x = 3 So, the solutio...

Different mode of integral

  In calculus, there are different types or modes of integrals, each serving specific purposes or used in particular contexts. The two main types are the definite integral and the indefinite integral, which I explained in my previous response. Besides those, here are a few other modes of integrals: Improper Integral: An improper integral is an integral with one or both bounds at infinity or with a point of discontinuity within the integration limits. In such cases, the integral may not have a finite value, and it requires special treatment. Improper integrals can be classified into two types: Type I and Type II. Example of Type I improper integral: ∫[1, ∞] 1/x dx Example of Type II improper integral: ∫[-∞, ∞] e^(-x^2) dx Line Integral: A line integral, also known as a path integral, is used to calculate the total of a scalar or vector field along a curve in two or three dimensions. It involves integrating a function over a path defined by a curve. Example: ∮C F · dr, where F is a...
