Numbers have fascinated man since their inception. They demand very fine sense of discrimination, alertness, and power of reasoning. There is no doubt in the fact that dealing with numbers calls for the best the human mind can give. The numbers have become inseparable part of our curriculum and our daily life.

Mental Arithmetic is a form of training which deals with carrying out arithmetic operations with out the use of paper/pencil or even calculator. There are Chinese method of mental arithmetic which is based on 'Abacus' i.e. a Chinese calculator, consisting of beads. The concept of mental arithmetic based on Abacus is useful for children as it is easy for them in the brain development stage to practice on Abacus and after some time they don't think about numbers but they convert numbers in to Abacus beads and perform mental operations and again convert beads back to number and give answer with amazing speed and accuracy. However this mental arithmetic has been found effective for the children of the age group of 6 to 13 years only. For students who have surpassed this age bracket Abacus Mental arithmetic is not very useful.

in most of the competitive examinations conducted by IIT's, IIM's, other engineering and management course entrance examinations, the ability of candidate with familiarity with numbers and fundamentals is tested against time. It has been observed that most of the students who are selected for these prestigious competitions have very keen understanding of number, which traditionally comes after a lot of practice and memorizing tables, squares, cubes of numbers up to two or three digits. This is a very tedious and time consuming task, a student who is weak in mathematics is either ill prepared in this subject or his/her other subjects get ignored.

Vedic method of Mental arithmetic is a well researched subject, by His Holiness Jagadguru Shankaracharaya. Though the subject is quite vast and universal in nature, here we teach the techniques of Vedic mathematics which are simple and do not involve memorizing tables beyond 9. Arithmetic problems, which usually take 15 to 20 steps to solve, can be solved in a few lines. The course is quite useful for the students in competitive examinations, because it gives them powerful tool of analysis, logic, speed and accuracy in solving problems.

VEDIC MATHEMETICS BASED MENTAL MATHS. Vedic Mathematics is based on simplification of all arithmetic operations through some highly researched Sutras. The aim of Vedic Mathematics is to ensure that student can carry out any type of arithmetic operations with much ease and accuracy and speed. However for understanding Mental Arithmetic based on Vedic Mathematics, the age group of student is 13 years upwards. To understand Mental Arithmetic based on Vedic Mathematics Students trained to understand and quickly select the most efficient technique to solve the problem in the least time. This technique has following advantages: -

Very high speed of calculations
Analytical faculty of student becomes vary sharp
The decision making skill are developed
A natural flair for maths will develop
A tremendous sense of self confidence is developed in the student

This technique is very useful for competitive examinations i.e. IIT's, IIM's, IAS and other competitive exams where speed and accuracy are the prime requirements. With adequate practise through extensive exposure in the class room and regular 25 minutes practise every day the student master the scientific art of mastering numbers.
