    About this ebook

    Mathematics is a tricky subject. Those who love, enjoy it much and those who don't, feel it's boring. I lost interest in mathematics while in 7th class. Based on whatever I remember, it was mainly due to a lack of understanding of negative numbers. By nature, I am a kinaesthetic person and therefore I refuse to accept anything unless understood thoroughly. Generally, just memorization doesn't work for me and the same thing happened to the multiplication of negative numbers. Our teacher presented them as rules and I refused to accept them at face value. One year later my cousin's grandfather started living with us and he had a great interest in teaching. Moreover, his concepts in mathematics were extremely clear and he could answer all my crazy questions. This retriggered my interest in mathematics. The whole journey was so joyful that I wish everyone get a grandfather like him who is at home to help with fundamental questions in studies. When I started thinking about developing books as per the curriculum, the next question was which board to follow. After a bit of research, I got to know that CBSE is the most popular board in India and therefore I decided to develop Vedic Math books for the CBSE curriculum. Finally, I had a choice of developing books from class I and I decided to develop the first book for class VIII. Class VIII is the foundation for board exams and therefore I felt this is the right time to start strengthening our knowledge, skills, and abilities. The book is designed in such a way that all required methods from Vedic math are covered here and the student need not refer to any other book to learn the basics. Secondly, numbers (data) are represented in pictorial format or charts wherever appropriate. This certainly simplifies the learning. I have explained principles wherever relevant. This shall help the pupil to understand them further and apply them confidently.

    Gaurish Borkar

    Mr. Gaurish Borkar was first introduced to Vedic astrology when he was a teen and got his first degree in astrology when he was just 14. He comes from a traditional family and his grandfather Shree. Haribhau Borkar was well known astrologer from Goa India. Even though Gaurish could not get much guidance from his grandfather as he died when Gaurish was too young, inherited knowledge was always in the blood. Gaurish got guidance from his cousin grandfather for next few years. After practicing Vedic astrology successfully for more than 6 years, Gaurish realized that just ability of accurate prediction is not good enough but ability to provide a solution is more important. Therefore, he started learning various remedial measures like Reiki, gemmology, hypnosis and NLP along with traditional remedial measures. He started his practice of Vedic astrology again after studying various remedial measures for more than 16 years. Now days he enjoys to evolve people and help them to achieve their goals, rather than just predicting their future.

      DEDICATION

      This book is dedicated to my mother’s aunt Miss Anila Paidharkar who cuddled me since birth. She was one of the very few rational people of her generation that I have seen.  She was at least 3 generations ahead in her thinking. She also had a good tact in presenting her thoughts without hurting and offending the other person and this helped her to present her viewpoint in front of all the generations. I also want to remember all the masters of mathematics across the globe who helped to develop mathematics that further helped to prove many scientific principles and establish them. This dedication is only complete by remembering Shree Bharathi Krushna Teerthaji Maharaj and other Indian scholars of mathematics. Shree Bharathi Krushna Teerthaji independently revived the principles and simplified mathematics in many ways. This book is only possible because of Shree Bharathi Krushna Teerthaji.

      ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

      Acouple of years ago I started taking courses in Vedic Math. These courses were primarily for pupils from primary and secondary school. I used to conduct a separate course on arithmetic and algebra. Many pupils used to ask me a question about the relevance of the course to their school curriculum of a year or class. While working with them I just realized that the courses shall be designed in such a way that pupils can easily correlate them with the syllabus in the school and this is when I decided to design the course as per the class. I want to acknowledge all the inputs and feedback provided by the pupils, directly and indirectly, to make the course effective and relevant. I also want to thank all the pupils for being open about their input which resulted in this book for the 8 th class.

      1. PURPOSE

      Mathematics is a tricky subject. Those who love, enjoy it much and those who don’t, feel it’s boring. I lost interest in mathematics while in 7 th class. Based on what I remember, it was mainly due to a lack of understanding of negative numbers. By nature, I am a kinaesthetic person and therefore I refuse to accept anything unless understood thoroughly. Generally, just memorization doesn’t work for me and the same thing happened to the multiplication of negative numbers. Our teacher presented them as rules and I refused to accept them at face value. One year later my grandfather started living with us and he had a great interest in teaching. Moreover, his concepts in mathematics were extremely clear and he could answer all my crazy questions. This retriggered my interest in mathematics. The whole journey was so joyful that I wish everyone gets a grandfather like him who is at home to help with fundamental questions in studies.

      Later, when I was in 9th I was introduced to Vedic Math by my close friend. At that time, I thoroughly enjoyed it and started using it to an extent where I completely forgot the methods taught in the school. A couple of years back I started taking courses in Vedic math and I repeatedly received questions about the relevance of the course in school. Even though these methods cannot be directly used in school today, some of the methods are being included in the school curriculum and therefore I decided to author books as per the curriculum.

      When I started thinking about developing books as per the curriculum, the next question was which board to follow. After a bit of research, I got to know that CBSE is the most popular board in India and therefore I decided to develop Vedic Math books for the CBSE curriculum. Finally, I had a choice of developing books from class I and I decided to develop the first book for class VIII. Class VIII is the foundation for board exams and therefore I felt this is the right time to start strengthening our knowledge, skills, and abilities.

      The structure of this book and the sequence of the syllabus is not the same and it is intentional. The book is divided into two sections. Section I is to learn basic principles and section II is for the application of principles. Section I mostly explain the procedure and it is important to refer to section II to confirm that concepts are understood and able to apply concepts is developed in pupils.

      The book is designed in such a way that all required methods from Vedic math are covered here and the student need not refer to any other book to learn the basics. Additionally, numbers (data) are represented in pictorial format or charts wherever appropriate. This certainly simplifies the learning.

      I have explained principles wherever relevant. This shall help the pupil to understand them further and apply them confidently. In the curriculum of the 8th class, algebraic identities are covered and they shall help the pupil to learn how some of the arithmetic formulae in Vedic Math were derived. This also allows them to derive, and add their derivations to simplify things further.

      Even though I have covered most of the syllabus in this book, it does not cover the whole syllabus and this book has many additional things that are not a part of the syllabus. At a high level, solid shapes and practical geometry are not covered and I plan to cover them in a separate book in recent future.

      I am confident that this is a fun and joyful journey for all the students and their parents. I wish you all the best for more love towards mathematics in general and Vedic math specifically.

      Purpose 

      2. Introduction to Vedic Math

      As I just told you in the previous chapter, one of my friends introduced me to Vedic math in 1992 (when I was in school). As he was elder than me, he was certain that it is helpful, as it had helped him during his school days. Since my school days, I am in love with Vedic math. It has helped me during my school and until now. Recently, one of my friends mentioned about challenges of pupils at school. One of the major challenges was math. While discussing, I realized that Vedic math is a solution to their challenges and I took a course for a small group of pupils. This course helped the pupils considerably and I decided to author books on Vedic Math. Before we start learning, let’s understand more about Vedic math.

      What is Vedic Math?

      Vedic math is a different way of doing math. This method is simpler and easier than prevalent methods. It is much faster and more suitable for mental math. Vedic math mainly covers algebra and arithmetic. Some part of Vedic arithmetic is developed on algebraic principles. Naturally, it is applicable in coordinate geometry and matrices. This method has many advantages. One of the advantages is that you do not need to learn algebra separately as it is just an extension of what you already apply in arithmetic. Arithmetic is simplified using algebra. Vedic math even has new or different methods to solve algebraic problems. Additionally, everything in Vedic math is based on only 16 main Sutra or formulae and this simplifies new learnings.

      The Uniqueness of Vedic Math

      Many methods in Vedic math are unique and they were not known in modern math. Let’s learn the uniqueness of Vedic math.

      Only 16 Sutra or formulae cover all the methods.

      Vedic math methods are integrated as a system.

      Vedic math methods are more suitable for mental math.

      Vedic math methods are simple and they are interrelated to each other.

      Vedic math methods are 2 to 5 times faster than traditional methods.

      Advantages of Vedic Math

      Simple mental methods that enhance mathematical intelligence.

      Vedic methods are 2
