The essence of Vedic mathematics.

I heard a lot about Vedic Mathematics on Usenet. I have also some initiatives of vedic techniques. for eg if you would like to multiply 65 by 28. It can be done like this...

   65 x 28 ------------------- 1820 12/48 + 10/40 ------------------- It is very simple and takes one third time as compare to modern methods. Few weeks back I came across an article on wired news which tells that modern students devour old mathematics to get admission in top Business and Engineering schools.

I would like to learn Vedic Math completely. Any good place?

Ramanujan also (IIRC) learned all his mathematical formulas from dreams, the goddess of learning Saraswati revealed it all to him. He "reinvented" math that was already in existence, and presented formulas and theories that have not been proven yet.

The book Dead Reckoning, Calculating Without Instruments by Ronald W. Doerfler is packed with calculation tricks like this one and many more sophisticated ones.
