Abstract

This paper deals with the Sutra “Nikhilam Navatascaramam Dasatah” of Vedic Mathematics in computing mathematical problems viz., 10’s complement, multiplication tables, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division quickly considering various examples. The problem solving techniques using the Sutra not only minimize the computational time but also seem to the students as an interesting and effective mathematical learning. The paper also explores the algebraic explanations of these techniques.
