An Approach to Implement Vedic Mathematics to Agricultural System: A Review (original) (raw)

MATHEMATICS AS A KEY TO SUSTAINABLE CHANGE IN AGRICULTURAL GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT

54th Annual Conference of Mathematical Association of Nigeria (MAN), 2017

This paper recognizes the fact that agriculture has been the mainstay of the nation’s economy as it provides food for the teeming population and raw materials for the industries. The obvious remains that mathematics application for the development of agriculture becomes imperative and worthwhile. The paper therefore focuses on the concepts of mathematics and agricultural development, its requirements as well as some arrays of mathematics applications for agricultural development. Finally, it is suggested that the extension delivery of new technological packages should be participatory and democratic enough to allow farmers avail themselves the opportunities of identifying their needs and problems, prioritizing them, analyzing them, among other commitments.

It employs a one-of-a-kind computation method based on the 16 sutras and 13 sub-sutras including a variety of modern mathematical problems such as trigonometry, arithmetic, geometry, factorization, quadratic equations, and calculus. This study summarizes some important sutras from Vedic mathematics with examples. Additionally, we highlight some recent applications of Vedic mathematics from existing literature.

Basic Operations on Vedic Mathematics: A Study on Special Parts

Nepal Journal of Mathematical Sciences

Vedic Mathematics was rediscovered and reconstructed by Sri Bharati Krishna Tirthaji from ancient Sanskrit texts Veda early last century between 1911 – 1918 is popularly known today is Vedic Mathematics. It is an extremely refined, independent and efficient mathematical system based on his 16 formulae and some sub-formulae with simple rules and principles. The main purpose of this paper is to communicate a new approach to Mathematics, offering simple, direct, one-line, mental solutions to mathematical problems. In the way of basic mathematical operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division can be done in simple ways, and results are obtained quickly and can be checked in a minute by using the Vedic techniques. In this system, for any problem, there is always one general technique and also some special pattern problems. This paper especially concentrates only on the specific pattern of elementary operation of Vedic Mathematics.

A Historical Study of Agriculture System in Vedic India

Department of Archaeology and Heritage Management, Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities, Rajarata University of Sri Lank, 2022

The goal of this study is to assess agriculture and its relevant parts such as processes, land, irrigation, manure, crops, and on so. The history of civilization proves that agriculture and civilization are intimately related to each other. From the ancient period to nowadays, agriculture has been considered one of the primary sources of income in the Indian economy. When the Aryans abandoned the nomadic life and settled down on the bank of sapta-sindhu (seven rivers) since then they adopted agriculture as a main means of food production. Here is remarkable in this context that at the first phase of the Ṛgvedic period neither Aryans were taken it as an industry, or nor a way of profit. Their organic agricultural systems were ecofriendly and food grains were favorable to health. Chronologically at that time agriculture grew proportionately with the increase of the Aryan population and it had considered a primary source of earning. Besides, it became one of the chief industries in that society. In Vedic society agricultural system is regarded as a sacred activity. At every stage of the agricultural system, Aryan farmers repeatedly prayed to their adorable good and goddess for getting maximum food grains, prosperity, development, and protection of crops. As no canonical history was written at that time, that’s why these subjects are written in this article from a historical perspective.

Indian Vedic Science and Mathematics Education

International Journal of Creative Research Thoughts (IJCRT), 2022

The present study focused on the Indian Vedic Science and Mathematics Based on Education. Veda is a Sanskrit word that means 'Knowledge'. Vedic Mathematics is the name given to the ancient system of Indian Mathematics. In the Vedic System, difficult problems or huge sums can often be solved immediately by the Vedic method. According to Krishna Tirtha, the sutras and other accessory content were found after years of solitary study of the Vedas a set of sacred ancient Hindu scriptures in a forest. Vedic Mathematics' General Techniques and Specific Techniques, numerical calculations can be done very fast. Vedic science unravels all the mysteries of the world and Vedic science does not believe in any mythology it is great science. Consciousness-Based Education is a theory and practice based on a systematic science and technology of consciousness that provides full experience, systematic development, and comprehensive understanding of the full range of human consciousness. Consciousness is traditionally understood as the continuous flow of thoughts and perceptions that engages the mind. The methodology of the study is qualitative and interview methods are applied. The study is a mixed type involving interpretative, analytical study of documents, interview and study both primary & secondary sources, like books, university news, expert opinion, articles, journals, thesis and websites, etc.

Investigating the development of arithmetic and algebra in Vedic India: tribute to Swami Dayananda Saraswati

2011

Historical development of algebra occurred in three stages; rhetorical or prose algebra, syncopated or abbreviated algebra and symbolic algebra-known as "school algebra". The analysis of this paper suggests that the first civilization to develop symbolic algebra was the Vedic Indians. The philosophical and religious ideas influenced the development of the decimal system and arithmetic and that led to algebra. Symbolic algebra appears to be deep rooted in Vedic philosophy. The Vedic mathematic were of a high level at an early period. The Hindus applied algebra freely creating formulas that simplified calculations. In geometry and trigonometry they developed formulas useful to understand the physical world satisfying the needs of religion (apara and para vidya). Geometrical focus, logic and proof type are features of Greek mathematics "boldness of conception, abstraction, symbolism" are evident in Indian mathematics. From history, a number of implications can be drawn. Real life, imaginative and creative problems that encourage risk should be the focus in student learning; allowing students freely move between symbols, numbers and magnitudes rather than taking a static unchanging view. Concrete, pictorial and symbolic modes are present in ancient learning. Real life practical, philosophical and religious needs in concert motivated progress to symbolic algebra. The historical analysis supports the use of rich context based problems that stimulate and motivate students to raise levels higher to transfer knowledge. The road from arithmetic to algebra was clearly in line with current emphasis in mathematics education but at an early stage in human history..

An Empirical Study on Role of Vedic Mathematics in Improving the Speed of Basic Mathematical Operations

Vedic Mathematics is an Indian ancient system of mathematical calculations or operations techniques developed in the year of 1957 with 16-word formulae and some sub-formulae. In competitive examinations, students find difficult to solve the aptitude questions effectively with very less or small time durations. Even though students are able to understand the problem, they are not able to speedup calculation process. In this paper some basic mathematical calculations, multiplication, square root, cube root and subtraction of fractional decimal numbers are distributed to a group of 25 students, whom are competitive examination writing students and told to solve questions without and with using Vedic methods techniques. The time taken to complete the calculations are taken in terms of minutes before and after adopting Vedic method's techniques and are analyzed using paired t-test. This paper could able to find that Vedic method significantly improves the speed of calculations while performing some basic mathematical operations. Wish this paper could play an active and supportive role in actual research of Vedic mathematics and techniques to improve the speed of calculations especially while writing any competitive examinations.

AGRICULTURE IN VEDIC AGE

our country blessed with innumerable number of rivers which provides life to the entire species including the human beings. The rivers are being worshiped as goddess and mother to. Because without water no life can survive on the earth. Be it for drinking purpose or agriculture purpose or industrial purpose water is most essential. In fact water is one of important components of panchabuta. It is because of this reason water is being looked with sacred approach. In this paper an attempt is made about the important of water and its relating to agriculture. It was the duty of the king to protect the farmers as he was/is the backbone of the country economy. Dams embankment, channels are to be constructed to help the farmers to use the water for agriculture purpose. And in case draught and famine on the basis of the report of shanbhag/village accountant the land revenue was to be waived. In this way since the vedic period the agriculture is being nurtured, nourished, and protected. Introduction and importance of water.

This paper tried to examine the effect of mathematical applications on agricultural development in Abia state, Nigeria. The survey research design was adopted. A purposive subset of the population which included farmer's co-operative; institutes, universities and ministry of agriculture within Abia state was utilized. The stratified random sampling technique was adopted with 30 members from five strata totaling to 150 members for the study. The structured questionnaire was the instrument for data collection adopting the five point likert scale. Data was analyzed using simple mean with a criterion mark of 3.50. Results from the study showed that basic skills in mathematics enhance agricultural production and practice; appropriate skills in measurement improve agricultural production and practice; and mathematical modeling of agricultural systems help to spur up stakeholders' interest and action for agriculture. Based on the findings, it was recommended that the ministry of agriculture should regularly enlighten farmers on basic mathematical applications for improved performance; mathematical applications in agriculture should be inculcated into school curriculum and government should fund research works on mathematical modeling of agricultural systems.
