Summary: SImply the best way to do calculations
Review: A coworker loaned me her copy, telling me that someone as "math nutty" as myself would love it. My first impression, when reading the foreword and intro, was that it was just smoke and mirrors. Oh yeah, sure, you can divide numbers without going through the usual hit-and-miss constructive method! I'll believe that when I see it.Well, I saw it and I'm a believer! Simply amazing! The techniques used to multiply and divide are based on well founded and cleverly applied principles, but the key to this book is that you don't really need to know WHY it works .. it just does! I think that kids should be taught this way instead of using the old traditional painful methods I was taught. This book is a must for anyone who loves to see core mathematics applied as they were meant to be. You will, as I was, be awe struck. This is ancient wisdom at its best! John Pawlak

Summary: Fascinating and Extremely useful
Review: Hello everybody! I would like to share my thoughts about this great book with you. I had heard of the sanskrit sutras in the Vedas (ancient Indian text) that could simplify all mathematical problems. And when I got this book, it was just great and just what I was looking for. I would strongly urge that you read the book and pass on the wealth left to us by the ancients.

Summary: Inspiring and Fascinating
Review: This book was given to me by a friend from India. I just have to say that this book is inspiring in such a way that it provides a new way of thinking in Mathematics. What I found most fascinating is that this way of thinking has been around for over 100 years and very little people know about it! It's a pity this is not taught in American schools because it gives a different perspective on how to solve problems - actually a much easier way to solve problems. If you have kids or you yourself want to solve problems easier (and faster), I strongly recommend this book. The majority of the American public is blind about the rest of the world's great achievements, not just mathematics, but also the arts and sciences. Truly unfortunate. Vince

Summary: SImply the best way to do calculations
Review: This is absolutely the best way to do any kind of calculations. It helped me out through my Graduate Studies (MBA) where I amazed my Finance and Accounting Proffessors with my ability to magically solve problems in my head and surprisingly come up with right answers faster than someone using a calculator
