Mathematics is not my cup of tea. This is what I told my father when I was making the decision of which subject to choose after class 10th. He insisted on me taking up mathematics as a subject because it would help me a lot in future. But I thought the other way round and was sure that mathematics would not help me much later in life. It was then when my father introduced me to the history of mathematics. He told me how, since ancient times, mathematics has played a major role and is the founding stone for other subjects and fields.

Talking of the Ancient period, the Vedas are the oldest literary record of Indo- Aryan civilisation. They are the original scriptures of Hindu teachings containing information regarding all the spheres of life. The word Veda is derived from the Sanskrit word ‘Vid’ which means to know. Veda is, therefore, the storehouse of knowledge. As per Dr Krishna Lal, supreme knowledge is present in Vedas. It also contains information and history of how Vedic mathematics was found and useful in all fields. It is the ancient system of calculation which was revived by Sri Bharati Krishna Tirthaji Maharaj between the years 1911 and 1918. According to him, the Vedic mathematics is based on sixteen formulas or sutras. It is said that any kind of calculation can be solved mentally with the help of these sutras. Vedic mathematics has a very unique and striking theory and method quite distinct from modern mathematics. It explains certain tricks and shortcuts to solve various problems like dividing, multiplying and factoring big numbers in a faster way. Let’s discuss the evolution of how mathematics was discovered and how it was helpful in real-life situations.
