75*75=(70+5)(70+5)=70*70+2*70*5+5*5=4900+700+25=5625

38*32=(30+8)(30+2)=30*30+(8+2)*30+8*2=900+300+16=1216

13*11=130+11=141

"For 11 years we have been struggling with math as a homeschooling family. After completing this week's video lessons all I can think of is the WASTED years. I do mean years. My oldest is 17 and my youngest now 2. I've been frantically looking for a math program that will help us learn math, love math, and really get a grip on numbers and the beauty of numbers. I've learned a few tricks along the way that will make math easier (counting backwards and skip counting backwards, ten frames) but nothing as simple and easy as this stuff. Good grief! We are making this so hard and at least in the USA our kids are learning very little of real math. . . . OK, I'm sold. "

"VM is amazing and we have seen a lot of results, we actually had a student struggling with the basics of Math for years; she came to us in 7th grade for about 6 months and really changed a lot. I met with her mom (a special education teacher) a month ago; with our help she finished 8 grade with math honors! Mom said it's clearly due to the VM lessons and she is now using them all the time!"
Hagit Genosar, Teacher, USA

"The more I am learning the more awed I feel about the simplicity of the Vedic System. I shared one of the addition technique with some my students and reactions on their faces were amazing. One common question they all had was when this method is so simple and can be done mentally why are we taught the cumbersome method in the school? I told them that this system was lost/ignored for many many years and now people have realized their importance and would be used more and more. I am having a wonderful experience of learning and teaching........can't wait for the next set of lessons!!"
Mudaliar Shraddha, Teacher, USA

"If I'd have had VM 15 years ago it would have saved our family years of grief and stress. We homeschool and math has been the thorn in our side since grade 2. Everything was made to be hard and difficult. How beautiful and simple VM is! At first I was annoyed that we wasted so much time, but now I am grateful to have had the experience of going through the transitional route as now we can see clearly the beauty of VM and how blessed my youngest child and my students will be to experience VM very young.

"Recently (on Dec 15th) I gave a two hour presentation in Monroe, Louisiana. The audience were spell bound and the organizers received an amazing feedback. They video taped the program and took an interview for 5 minutes at the end."

"Even our weakest maths student Sukaran mastered it so well that he remarked, "Come what may, I can never get the question of simultaneous equations wrong in the GCSE examination"."
Rajni Obhrai, maths teacher, U.K. (quoting a student)

"I taught calculating squares and square roots to 9th grade kids on this street and they had their mouth wide open in amazement. They said they especially hated finding square roots the traditional way. Now they want me to take a VM boot camp during their Dasara holidays (from 14-30 of this month) and cover Algebra and relevant topics. I wish the teachers can witness this interest and growth in the children learning VM techniques and are open to give it a try."

"I found the 7 tutorials on Vedic Maths on Internet in 2000. I used that with some of my students then. This year I spent one week with each of my classes and taught them these methods of multiplying and dividing. For the first time students were eager to do maths and wanted more of it."
From Vedic Mathematics Newsletter 18

"All I can hear from them is "wow" and they get frenzy when they started to be able to solve math problems up to 4-digits times 4-digits multiplication in their heads. Some students approach me expressed how thankful they are that I teach them Vedic Math. They were already in their 3rd year level and still struggling in their multiplication skills and this is a relief for them."
Rosendo Jr. Agulto, Philippines

"My entire attitude about math changed today. Even though we only went over basic arithmetic, I can see the logic in what you taught me. My grandchildren will not have a fear of math because of what you taught me today."
Barbara Kithcart, USA

"The students are very enthusiastic and came up with alternate solutions for some of the techniques. Many parents used to drop their kids for the classes and used to pick up at the end. After the Medhavadhanam program (where the kids answer the audience questions (selected topics like cube roots, fifth roots, telling recurring decimal places for fractions like 1/29, 1/79 etc.) without using any computing aid, not even paper and pencil, within a minute. Now many parents got interest seeing their kids performance. Now they are asking me to take another session to explain those techniques. This is the change I have been looking for the past 8 years. Finally took a shape."

You said that in Vogon mathematics 12/16 = 1216.

So 1/19 = 119

You mean like this?
