Vedic Mathematics a Deprived book !
🙏

Published in 1965 written by monk Bharati Krishna Tirtha

contains 16 mathematical techniques, which he claimed retrieved from Atharvaveda

Scholars Rejected the book by saying that no such mathematics is available in Vedas

@TIinExile
1/n

Tirtha claimed that no part of advanced mathematics is beyond his book and asserted that studying it for few hours every day for a year equated to spending 2 decades in any education system to become professionally trained in mathematics

Rejected as compendium of few tricks

2/n

Tirtha claimed that they were not included in the standard editions but only in a hitherto-undiscovered version of Parishishta of a standard edition of the Atharvaveda

He wrote the book in 1957

First Published 1965

Republished 1975 and 1978 to correct typographical errors

3/n

Many called it dubious

Few appreciated

Dani believes Krishna Tirtha's methods are results of his academic training in mathematics and long recorded habit of experimentation with numbers

he was impressed with the work

Book Included in school syllabus of MP & UP in 2017

4/n

He was inspired from Vedas and derived mathematics sutras

But like recently @yogrishiramdev's #Coronil it was also rejected by suit-boot researchers those could not digest that how a monk can do some research

His book is now widely appreciated & published after 1990 many times.
