The Curious Hats of Magical Maths: Vedic Mathematics for Schools Book 2: Vedic Mathematics for Schools Book 2 - Couverture souple

The Curious Hats of Magical Maths Book 2 is the second workbook in the series on Vedic Mathematics. It leads you into unique, enjoyable and very quick methods of working with numbers. Vedic Mathematics for calculations are carefully described with step-by-step worked examples for you to follow. There are plenty of practice exercises so that you can gain some mastery over the techniques. This system of Vedic Mathematics was constructed from ancient Vedic sources by Bharati Krsna Tirthaji about a hundred years ago. It is based on sixteen simple rules called sutras, each of which is represented by a "Curious Hat". The sutras breifly encapsulate rules of mental working, principles or guiding maxims. Through simple practice you can enjoy mathematics, become adept and quick at mental written calculations, losing any fear of numbers along the way. This book is a revised, enlarged and illustrated edition of Vedic Mathematics for Schools Book 2. The author's understanding of Vedic Mathematics and his qualities as a teacher shine out in these excellent volumes. The simplicity and efficiency of the Vedic system are brought out through the clearly explained examples and there are many exercises and puzzles to stretch the young mind. Easy proofs of all the techniques are given, the topics are well structured and the text is very readable. I must thoroughly recommend these books to students and teachers.
