All mathematical calculations boil down to four basic mathematics operators: Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division. Addition and Subtraction are the basic operators as multiplication is repeated additions and division is repeated subtractions. A book by the name of Vedic Mathematics by Sri Krishna Tirthaji Maharaja gives an insight into the traditional way of handling multiplication. As against the prevalent method that requires remembrance of at the least multiplication tables from 2 to 15, the book claims that all multiplication can be boiled down to learning tables up to 5 X 5. | All mathematical calculations boil down to four basic mathematics operators: Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division.
