This book is everything possible on manipulating multi digits to single digits. This is the essence of 1 of 16 Vedic Sutras that means 'Digital Sums' or Digital Compression. Physicists know that if there is a problem to be solved, that compression is the answer eg if a computer has too much data and it needs to be stored economically or sent efficiently, it can be solved
by digital compression.
A numerical example is, to multiply 33 by 11. We add the digits of 33 which is 3 + 3 which is 6 and insert this between the two threes, giving the instantaneous answer of 363.
Thus, 25 x 11 = 2 (2 + 5) 5 = 275. Its that easy.
There is a whole chapter on Multiplication by 11 and set out with questions and answers in
the back. This is the essence of Vedic Mathematics, that it can be done mentally, via pattern recognition, or it can be done by one single line of intelligent arithmetic.
Chapter 1 is about "How Do I Start Teaching My Child The First Principles Of Vedic Mathematics?"
In Chapter 3 there is an indepth study of Universal Number Series like the Triangular Numbers and Pascal's Triangle which was really Halayudha's Triangle (a Vedic Jaina Mathematician from the C3rd BC). Of great interest is the Digital Compression of the Divine Proportion based on the Fibonacci Series: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144 etc and reducing them
to single digits to discover eternal and internal patterning dealt with in full in: "The Book Of Phi" Volumes 1 and 2.
This is a great workbook for children 12 years and older. It will vastly improve the student's memory skills, increase their mental agility and boost self-confidence.
Of the proposed 5 Parts in this Series, two are complete,
Part 1 is this book on Digital Sums. During the next reprint, the title of
VEDIC MATHEMATICS FOR THE GLOBAL CURRICULUM will change to:
JAIN MATHEMAGICS FOR THE GLOBAL CURRICULUM, Book 1: DIGITAL SUMS
Part 2 has just been published in 2005. It is known as:
JAIN MATHEMAGICS FOR THE GLOBAL CURRICULUM,
Part 2: MULTIPLICATION.
It deals with many aspects of Multiplication and it is currently very popular and used in my workshops with children and adults.
Part 3 will also be more on Multiplication, and will be sub-titled: Multiplication @ the Speed of Thought.
It is still evolving and getting written as I teach and travel.
Part 4 will be on all aspects of Division; and
Part 5 will be on Fractions, Calculus, Square Roots etc.
After 2005, the Series name of this book: "The Vedic Mathematics Curriculum For The Global School" will change to
"JAIN MATHEMAGICS CURRICULUM FOR THE GLOBAL SCHOOL".
BACK COVER BLURB:
- This book, the first of a 5-part Series, is designed to enhance the present mathematical curriculum, and in some cases, replace tedious or out-moded procedures, bringing joy into this often abhorred subject.
- Jain is at the vanguard of advocating mathematical change and reform. The presentation of these timeless number codes, expressed as "Digit Sums" are part of our genetic memory. It is the Right Brain or Feminine Hemisphere Mathematics that sees or intuits the shape or artistic pattern of the predicted answer.
- In this dance of numbers, the dancer will feel inter-connected with all branches of knowledge and thus also become a recipient to Higher Knowledge. In this way, the Parent can effectively teach their Child (7 years and onward) the pure first principles of Vedic Mathematics.
- Discover how the Vedic Square, via Digital Sums, reveals Atomic Structures!
- Vedic Mathematics is based on 16 Sutras or word-formulae that were reconstructed by Sri Bharati Krsna Tirthaji, 1884-1960, during an 8 year forest retreat.
- By definition, this universal system is described as Mental, One-Line Arithmetic. It vastly improves memory skills, intuition, mental agility and self-confidence.
- If society continues to remain dependent upon calculators, for the next 20 years, the Pineal Gland of the Global Brain will atrophy.
- Become a Human Bio-Calculator!
- Mathematics without tears.
