How "Vedic" Maths Fooled Us All

[@shrikrishnaandjyotsnadani1347]

Thanks a lot Pranav for bringing out this lovely video on a topic that has been close to my heart. It is over a quarter century since I wrote my earliest articles debunking the so-called Vedic Mathematics. Though I did follow up the theme at various times, through articles and talks, and there have indeed been other sane voices serving the cause, unfortunately the false belief about the tricks being "Vedic" and the exaggerated sense of their usefulness has persisted, and has even evolved into an industry of sorts. In this context your video comes as a breath of fresh air. I am very happy to see that you present the topic in a very nuanced manner, with persuasive reasoning rather than recourse to polemics. I am also enthralled by the body language you contribute towards making the viewer understand the truth behind the myth of "Vedic Mathematics". Here are a couple things I would like to add by way of comments in the context of the video. You mentioned in the video the name of Professor K. S. Shukla as a mathematician who challenged Swamiji, in person, on his claims of Vedic origin of his so called sutras. I would like to add here that Prof. Shukla has in fact been a doyen, specifically in the field of history of ancient and medieval Indian mathematics, with many crucial research findings and expositions to his credit. An important one, and my favourite, is his discovery of the original mathematician, named Jayadeva, from around the 10th century, to have found the Chakravala method for finding integer solutions of certain equations, which has been recognized as a masterpiece in mathematics. In 2018 we celebrated the centenary anniversary of Prof. Shukla, and in addition to the benefits from various events that were organized, there has been a lasting outcome in the form of a volume, with over 700 pages, consisting of selected articles of Prof. Shukla on Indian mathematics and astronomy (Edited by Aditya Kolachana, K. Mahesh and K. Ramasubramanian, published by the Hinduastan Book Agency). Another point I would like to mention is about the 16 "sutras", that you have already discussed at some length in the video. The Sanskrit of the so called sutras is of course not Vedic. More specifically they are simply phrases (not even full sentences) concocted for the purpose of remembering the individual tricks, AFTER the tricks were acquired. Thus the pages of description that you have mentioned are not devoted to interpreting the "sutras", but rather the latter are a sort of longish titles for the tricks described.

[@scienceisdope]

Thanks a lot Dani sir, I feel blessed and I really appreciate that you took the time to watch and comment on the video. My video wouldn't even exist and most of us would be in the dark regarding the validity of "Vedic" Mathematics, if it weren't for your research. While going through your paper I saw the amount of painstaking research you've done for the same. And like Newton once said, we all stand on the shoulder of the giant that is you :) I shall make an updated video where I add the changes and emphases you've mentioned. I'm also planning a video on the genuine mathematical achievements of India's past

[@drohanchakraborty1128]

I am a student at the Indian Statitical Institute and I would like to make a slight correction at 11:05 where you talked about the achievements made by the Kerala school of mathematics. Based on the screenshot of the Wikipedia page which is being displayed, it would be a slight overstatement to say that they literally invented calculus even before Newton or Leibnitz. The thing is that Calculus, which stands entirely on the shoulders of Real Analysis, was developed by Newton (and others) so that they could solve real life problems rigorously with the help of mathematics. So basically all the real life problems which we can now solve quite easily using Calculus were not so easy to solve back when the foundations of Calculus had not yet been set up. The Kerala school of mathematics was able to obtain several well known results of Calculus (like the Taylor series expansions), but they did not develop the rigorous structure of Calculus, and hence they were only able to check the validity of the results that they obtained to some extent, but not make a concrete block out of it. To put it in simpler words, they had the intuition in hand (which is mind blowing and more than commendable), but could not provide a solid framework, and this is exactly what Newton and Lebnitz did. they created the entire framework of the subject in a formal manner because of which they are credited.

[@caveman36]

Makes sense. We've never had a formal system of education and research which facilitated free exchange and publicizing of ideas. That's what made the Renaissance so special.

[@brahm-ahamasmi]

While you are correct that the "Medieval Indian Calculus" is not to that level, but it was not so even for Newton and Leibnitz. Calculus, as taught today, is a much refined version. Please don't misunderstand me, I am sort of agreeing with your PoV and disagreeing at the same time. I would also agree that there is NO EVIDENCE of any Indian mathematician inventing calculus along the lines we study it today, but they had amazing accurate calculus based results. Please note that even this info was not available a few decades back. So may be it was not intuition (like Ramanujan's), but a framework, may be rudimentary, which has not yet been deciphered or the few direct sources have been lost. It does points in the direction of a big probability that a discovery of a calculus framework may happen. It is a shame that the government puts hardly any money in research compared to Vishwaguru dreams.

[@ChinmayAthavale]

Well, we have terms like Gati & Pravega in Vedas given along with their correlation. Though formula for it isn't available in the manuscripts found so far, is it good to say that the formulae must be there since the calculations are there, just the they are lost somewhere in time.

[@milindphadnis3990]

"Science is Dope", your video is very good indeed. But problem is that many people from India take things very personally and feel hurt whenever anyone criticizes anything do with their culture. Also another problem when discussing mathematics is that many people do not have a clear understanding of what constitutes higher level mathematics. It is not uncommon to see someone with a Masters degree talking as though they they are experts and in some cases there are even high schoolers and college graduates believing that their 99/100 score in college exams reflects mathematical genius! The best of the world's mathematicians are very humble about what they know (although they know a lot) and on the other hand the students with half-knowledge are the ones shouting from the rooftops about how much they know.

There is something to the examples of the class 96 X 97. It is a combination of modular arithmetics and distributive property. You can write above as (100-4)*(100-3), which is equal to 100X100 -400 -300 -4X(-3). 100X100 -400 -300 = 9300 = 9600-300 = 9700 - 400. And -4X(-3) = 12; thus 9300+12 = 9312

[@araldjean-charles3924]

let generalize a little bit. Instead of 96, 97 let's have number 9b ( or 90+b), and 9c (or 90+c) b, c are single digits. The mod100 of the additive inverse of 90+b = 10-b and the additive inverse of 90+c = 10-c. When you are adding the -4 or the -3, you are actually doing 100*[(9X10)+b - (10-c)] which is equal to [90+b+c-10]X100 = 100*[(9X10)+c -(10-b)] = [90+b+c-10]X100. With b = 6 and c=7, the latter will give you 9300; (10-b)*(10-c) = 4X3= 12. And thus 9312. You can also expand (100-(10-b))X(100-(10-c)) = 8000+100b+100c + [(10-b)X(10-c)] which expands to 9300 + 12

I would like to disagree. And here are my points. 1. Vedic mathematics as it is currently being studied is not referring to 'THE VEDAS' but rather the 'VEDIC' period from which it continues. 2. We can take Swamiji out of the picture now since we are interested in Maths more than him, so the points I will make will strictly concern 'VEDIC' mathematics and not Swamiji's version of it. 3. Western Mathematics is broken. If you look at history, there has never been a concrete evolution of ideas, rather and 'try and fix' approach. 4. Like for example, the multiplication meaning of adding numbers to itself you are talking about strictly follows for positive integers, and falls apart for anything else. Eg: 3x(1/3), you cannot add 3 to itself 1/3 times. 5. Kindly do not comment on the history and achievements of Indian civilization when you are not well versed with it(no personal attacks, but sharing articles won't help). 6. Please do not take these as personal attacks, I merely wished to communicate what I feel you have done wrong. Still, if I end up hurting you, do pardon me. 7.

But you don't get to decide that without proper research of your own or citing research papers that fundamentally prove that the system is a fraud. Sharing an article or two with one's thoughts isn't enough by any parameter. Secondly, I appreciate your love for Mathematics, but I don't know why you couldn't figure out what has been proven for so long. First, the Greek philosophers from whom you get your 'modern mathematics' didn't accept zero as a valid number, did not accept the existence of negative numbers, and dismissed the idea of higher-dimensional numbers as well. You only accepted when the fundamental theorem of polynomials seem to be broken without complex numbers, and you represent mathematical signs as if they were greater or less than each other.

Read it completely don’t ignore or skip. Any body noticed in comments that he is only giving hearts to those which are aligned with his views or agenda whatever you call it but ignoring every other comment which is countering his facts. Such a insecure person 😏😏. Anyway let me you some brief insight Mr. Firstly Vedic mathematics is not a different branch of math neither it is all about calculating tricks as you are trying to say "oh see this only contains some random tricks how can we call Vedic mathematics as math". Secondly Vedic math doesn't mean it is originated from Vedas. Obviously because Vedas main focus is studying about entire Universe, it's origin and its working principles of course along side with worshipping of God's and music. And if want to study more about it then read a book called ‘Ved Vigyan Alok” by ‘Acharya Agnivrit’ which scientifically explains about Vedas in depth. Why would Veda will focus on Calculation Trick instead? Vedic mathematics is called by Vedic name because of uses of this in Vedic era. In Vedic era the main method of studying was listing and memorizing rather than Writing. They need to do every calculation in their head without pen-paper and this is why these tricks were developed and used. Obviously these are not magic trick and Vedic math never claims it as a magic rather these can be easily describe by algebra. Doing cross multiplications and other methods are just easy way of describing these algebra ways so that we can easily remember and perform quickly. These tricks were not developed as a alternate method of doing all calculation fast instead of conventional method as you are saying in video “hey look these tricks only works on some calculations and not all so this is rejected” rather it intentionally developed for some calculation because as I said these tricks are not magic you too can develop your own tricks and that means there can be a trick for every calculation and it is true. But Vedic Math develop for some calculation because the intent of these calculation was to do fast calculation and not replacing conventional methods so even if there are tricks available for all calculation they are unnecessary if they are not short, fast and easy then regular method and this is why they develop and taught tricks for only some calculation which can save time and need of writing. These tricks were develop by understanding the core pattern behind the calculation and mimicking that pattern in a short way. So when we these tricks they not only able to do calculation fast but their broad view also expends about calculation when they eventually understands how these tricks are working. And this helps development of understanding the patterns in real life things and developing own conclusions and tricks. So if you don’t want to teach your children about Vedic Math then its your choice but don’t brainwash other and fill their mind with your understanding filth. Now Lastly as I said Vedic mathematics is not only about calculation trick, there is also a Branch called “VEDIC GEOMETRY” and if you don’t know about it then I have no surprise because if you have known about it then you would not have talked that shit in your video. Go and search about Vedic maths on internet you will find many videos out there describing it. Vedic Period in India was the Diamond period of world and we haven’t yet discovered fraction of it. There are many thing yet to be unearthed about Vedic period . Now Finally I know that people like you who have western ideology mindset and will even shit on your culture, history and people for western validation will never accept that India was the centre of the world knowledge and Sanatana Dharma is oldest, scientific and mother of all religion. And if you can’t digest it Mr. then let me tell some uncomfortable truth for you that Mathematics itself is originated from India in Vedic period. Number system based 10 originated from India.

lol, dude how insecure are you. He himself explained how trying to relate it to anceint times or how despite them being from vedic era can be shoddy or the tricks vary from person to person, those same tricks won't work for every single person. Just like he spoke about Ayurveda, lot fo those ideas can work but their systems only worked for that era and they can work but if modern methods are used as we are advanced now. Binary system from ancient time is also sleuthing that does have shoddy aspects. You can't just say, "See, we did it before! It's totally accurate and those damn westerners destroyed us!!". Lot of old vehicles geometry also had ideas done in Egypt beforehand. Validation from the west? He's made a whole video on India's great past in science and the people who contributed to it. It's a claim you just made because it dosen't suit what you learnt. India is a great knowledge hub, it was back then but India also took ideas from others like how others took ideas from India, highlighting actual contributions will do a better job at representing India than exaggerated notions.

I wanna say something. Maybe Vedic mathematics don't exist. But it doesn't matter. I was in saraswati sishu Mandir where we used to study this Vedic mathematics text and there were mathematics team competition. I have seen guys r too fast in calculation ....they just calculate big numbers within seconds by using the mentioned techniques in the book. It was pretty cool to see that. There is urdhatiryak process to multiply numbers too, it doesn't require any specific situation to apply. So, who cares it's from Vedas or not....but no doubt it's a grt fun to use above technique and get the answers fast.

Fast calculations are impressive but ultimately maths is so much more than that. Being good at calculations in maths is like having good vocabulary in English. It's no guarantee that you'll write well. Actually vocabulary helps in writing but mental calculations are pointless nowadays with all the calculators we have.

'10:15 THE BOOK WAS WRITTEN IN 20th CENTURY WHAT'S YOUR POINT!' This is his point. The main contention of the video is to debunk that the tricks are sourced from ancient Vedic texts as is falsely claimed by the author, so that they can be examined without this extra layer of mystique, because it's not earned and that makes the thing pretentious. As a testament to this, most of the youtube videos I've found showing the trick at the start of this video, NEVER bother to explain its limitations, which one could conceive is due to the pride that they hold in it as being 'ancient'. Their feeling perhaps being that explaining its limitations might demote something sacred or holy. The trick is actually quite a bit more useful when you do understand its limitations, because then you're more aware of when to apply it, but the pretension surrounding it misguides how people teach it. This is not ideal. They are good tricks, they're just not ancient my dude. The rest of the points you're addressing are not very central to the main contention. As for context, well the whole point of the video IS context, in that the source is being disputed. That is a very important aspect of context no?

Its just a label for 'speedy mental maths' that describes an algebraic way of doing arithmetical calculations. Fun to learn as a kid at primary school to excel at arithmetic and then to understand 'why these tricks work' in high school when one is learning algebra. There are anecdotal stories of British engineers being out calculated by street urchins in India which hints at a strong tradition in India for teaching computational arithmetic with a playful effortless approach to crunching numbers in their head just for the sake of it.

Vedic mathematics or sutras were written in poetic manner by Sankracharya ji and agreed it has limited usage. However it does open up the process to explore more in learning Sanskrit and it’s poetic sutras leading to Shulbhasutra and other linear algebra principles explained in Aryabhatta’s book..

Interesting video. I did not know about this "Vedic Mathematics" thing. I know there are people among Muslims who like to get some kind of numbers and stuff from Quran and relate them to different observations in science. Same with Christianity. I guess in all religions there are people who really think this stuff and reverse engineer it back to suit their held beliefs. Everyone knows about the original of decimal system and zero from India and that Algebra was invented by an Arab and Calculus by Newton. I would love to see a video about the things you mentioned like the Pythagoras theorem and possibly Calculus coming from India. I am ignorant of those tales. Thanks

[@venkateshgoswami2976]

Agreed that for some strange reason, Swamiji was not very vocal about his naming a set of methods he had devised on his own to solve elementary mathematical or rather arithmetical problems with ease, speed and accuracy. Whatever the truth, we have to accept the fact that Swamiji definitely devised methods on his own. Suppose a student wishes to square 98. In order to arrive at an answer he would multiply 98x98 or (90+8)squared or (a+b)^2 which would expand as a2+2ab+b2. Now substitute a=90 b=8 in the equation and get the answer. Quite simple, but, look at the time taken to solve it; the scope of making a mistake in multiplying and getting the wrong answer has high possibility, especially if school students are doing it. I have been a teacher of Maths in schools for a decade and more and it's my personal experience that Maths does scare the wits out of 75% of the students, and, that sir is a very large number. Among a group of 80 students if there are 20 girls only 2 or 3 girls will opt for maths and that's a very poor number. But when the same students are taught Swamiji's methods, I always was amused at how fast the students picked up Maths. They very soon tackled large sum on their own. Whether its algebra, 3D, 2D geometry, trigonometry, calculus, in the end the problem reduces to a complicated exercise in Arithmetic. It is here that the so called "Vedic Maths" tools does wonders. Squaring a π is pretty awkward but you apply Swamiji's method and you get the answer quite fast. These so called "Vedic Sutras" come extremely handy when you are tackling various competitions. These methods can be used upto B.Sc without embarassment. So young man, you can throw a lot of slush on the Swamiji, but you cannot demean the originality of his method. Have you ever tried solving the Kepler equation by employing Swamiji's methods or "tricks" if you want to call it. You will be surprised how fast the equation can be solved. Try it and you will say that I speak the truth. It's my experience that most of the time the student is able to do most calculations in his mind without scribbling on paper and getting nowhere. Try dividing 13 by 49 upto 18 decimal places and note the time you take. Now allow me to do the same but with Swamiji's "trick". I shall throw in the correct answer upto 8 places of decimal well within one minute flat! And I can write the answer left to right or from right to left with equal ease. If I have to go from left to right then I divide and if I have to go from right to left, I shall multiply and that too very fast. If I multiply then I derive the answer in 30 seconds flat!! Can you do it?? Put to use Swamiji's method and one can do wonders in working out the calculations involved in problems of Trigonometry! So gentleman, instead of cursing the old man and taking jibes at him, let us benefit from his methods. You do not wish to call it VM then don't! Call it Ancient Indian Mathemagic or any damn thing. How does it matter? A rose called by any other name will smell as sweet!

I cannot refute all your points, but here are some that I can: Ayeurveda is from hinduism, but its not fully verified by science. Some ayurvedic treatments do work and do have benefits, but a vast majority of them have no empirical evidence to support them, and may actually do more harm than good. Zero being from India does not have much to do with the context of the video. I have never heard of the value of pi being formulated in India, please provide some sources for that. The hanuman chalisa misconception has been debhnked multiple times. You can find a video about it on this channel. In short, the units are completely messed up, and a yojana can have multiple values depending on context. The "7 chakras of body" thing has never been proven or has any factual basis as far as I know. If it has been proven or has any factual basis, again, provide some sources. Same problem with the surya siddhanta as with the hanuman chalisa. What exactly is a yojana? Why are there multiple values of it? Does it have the same units as the speed of light? (m/s, SI unit) Ah yes, the misconception that Oppenheimer "got ideas for nuclear energy" from the Bhagvad Gita. Firstly, nuclear energy was discovered much before Oppenheimer was director of Los Alamos, the research lab where the first atomic bomb was made. In fact, Oppenheimer was completely against the idea that an atom could be split to produce energy, something which is a known fact. Secondly, Oppenheimer as many of his peers, looked to sanskrit texts on a philosphical basis, not a scientific one. If you want to know more about this, you can read his biography, American Prometheus.

Vedic Mathematics may not be from vedas. But saying that it would be easier to go by conventional methods over figuring out which tricks to use is very wrong. It requires a lot of practice and dedication so it becomes second nature to you. It increases your focus and attention span. It is one of the best mental exercises available. Vedic mathematics should not be taught upto 3rd or 4th standard students, this I totally agree. But after 4th and 5th standard and upto 10th standard it should be compulsory in my opinion! People should not be fooled by believing that vedic maths is pinnacle of mathematics or being proficient in vedic maths makes you a guaranteed genius in mathematics, but it should be treated as a basic tool. This basic tool is a blessing for different competitive exams, especially for those exams where you get 1 or 1.5 minutes per questions to solve.
