Vedic Mathematics is an ancient system of mathematics that uses a collection of simple rules and principles, or sutras, to solve mathematical problems. It was developed from the Vedas, which are ancient Indian texts. This system is known for its quick and easy methods for calculations, which can often be done mentally.
