i dont know whether this is the right place of talking about this bor not nevertheless:i wish to be told about fast methods in mathematics. for eg , if u wanna square a number that ends say 125 , u simply do multiply the 12 by (12 + 1) ie 13 and get 156 and write 25 following it so u get 15625. i know the method of multiplication by using the formula : (x - a )(x- b) = xsquared - x(a + b) +ab. so dont give me that give me..divisions by certain bumbers .. for eg .. 19/46 etc..

guess what diya , i do have a book of vedic mathematics , but u know , its not of practical utility to me , i min m here at lucknow (india) , n its very important that i learn all shortcuts coz i gotta give the iit jee exam this april and its gonna b objective this time , so its realy important.u know when u go 2 a book-store u will surely buy (or b advised perhaps) to buy a book "vedic mathematics" by some swami ji.. but u know that really according to me is not vedic mathematics .. i min i think the book's completely superficial.. so plz dont buy it .. n secondly i havent yet bin able 2 locate any book neither on the net nor at any book-store! ur in mum so perhaps you can go visit book-malls like crossword etc.. and let me know if u find any book.. that can serve us any purpose at undergraduate level! love kush PS : i rote long.. sorry IP: Logged |

Guy19, Did you try one by Shakuntala devi? I had one book from her. I am wondering how will it prepare you for JEE? It might help you with CAT.IP: Logged |

JEE requires you to go in depth .. and then the intuition thats developed helps in objective exam .. whose alternative is vedic mathematics .. but in CAT u only gotta have speed ..theres one vedic mathematics book by jayco publishers .. heard of it? anyway i dont think anything can come out of this ,lets forget it!
