Before we kick-start this interaction, lets recall some of the great Indian Mathematicians and their achievements.
In the classical period of Indian mathematics (400 AD to 1200 AD), important contributions were made by scholars like Aryabhatta,Brahmagupta, and Bhaskara II.
Indian mathematicians made great contributions to the study of the decimal number system, zero, negative numbers, arithmetic, and algebra. In addition, trigonometry after being introduced into India through translation of Greek works further advanced in India and in particular mordern definitions of sine and cosine were developed here.

What do we understand by Vedic Mathematics ?
The first thing that might come to one's mind is that vedic maths has originated from Vedas (sanskrit word means 'knowledge', Four ancient Indian books full of knowledge). Yes, it's true, vedic maths do have its roots in Vedas, the ancient Indian source of abundant knowledge. And it is said that Vedas contain all the knowledge ever needed by a man. It was Swami Krishna Tirathji Maharaj, who, after years of of study of vedas, came up with his own precis of Mathematics and put it under 16 sutras(formulae) that cover almost all fields of mathematics.
Here we will cover some of the basic sutras.
1. Multiplication Techniques :
Vedic Mathematics is based on pattern recognisation. After identifying the pattern, a suitable sutra can be applied to yield amazingly quick solutions.
Sutra : Antyayor Dasakepi (last digits adding to 10, and tens digit same)
eg 34*36
Here 4+6 =10 , and digit 3 is same in both cases
So answer will have two parts
Left part = 3*(3+1)
Right part = 4*6
Final Ans. > 3*(3+1), 4*6 > 1224
