The
ancient system of Vedic Mathematics was rediscovered from the Indian
Sanskrit texts known as the Vedas, between 1911 and 1918 by Sri Bharati
Krsna Tirthaji (1884-1960). At the beginning of the twentieth century,
when there was a great interest in the Sanskrit texts in Europe, Bharati
Krsna tells us some scholars ridiculed certain texts which were headed
'Ganita Sutras'- which means mathematics.
They could find no mathematics in the translation and dismissed the
texts as rubbish. Bharati Krsna, who was himself a scholar of Sanskrit,
Mathematics, History and Philosophy, studied these texts and after
lengthy and careful investigation was able to reconstruct the
mathematics of the Vedas. According to his research all of mathematics
is based on sixteen Sutras, or word-formulae.
Bharati Krsna wrote sixteen volumes expounding the Vedic system but these were unaccountably lost and when the loss was confirmed in his final years he wrote a single book: Vedic Mathematics, currently available. It was published in 1965, five years after his death.
