In this book the Vedic techniques are applied to ordinary school mathematics for eleven and twelve years-old. the arithmatic introduced in books I and II is extended. The book also deals with the initial stages of solving equations, coordinate geometry, approximations, indices, parallels, triangles, ratio and proportion as well as other topics.

Once a basic grounding has been established with the Vedic methods the next stage is the beginning of discrimination. A problem is set and, armed with several techniques, the student must choose the easiest or most relevant for achieving the solution. This book deals with some of the steps required for this training.

Questa raccolta di venti saggi inediti in Italia propone un divertente tour tra numeri curiosi, trucchi magici e paradossi logici. C'è anche il Gardner più profondo ed eclettico, che esplora i confini tra arte, scienza e filosofia, demolisce le credenze pseudo-scientifiche e professa senza alterigia le proprie fedi.

La presente raccolta di problemi ed esercizi nasce dall'esperienza maturata durante il corso di Equazioni a Derivate Parziali (EDPed è rivolto prevalentemente a studenti di Ingegneria, Fisica e Matematica, ma costituisce un utile punto di riferimento anche per coloro che desiderano approfondire alcuni aspetti teorici e modellistici di questa importante disciplina. La finalità consiste nell'abituare il lettore ad una sinergia metodologica nell'affrontare problemi teorici e/o modellistici.

In 1150 AD, Bhaskaracarya (b. 1114 AD), renowned mathematician and astronomer of Vedic tradition composed Lilavati as the first part of his larger work called Siddhanta Siromani, a comprehensive exposition of arithmetic, algebra, geometry, mensuration, number theory and related topics. Lilavati has been used as a standard textbook for about 800 years. This lucid, scholarly and literary presentation has been translated into several languages of the world. Bhaskaracarya himself never gave any derivations of his formulae. N.H. Phadke (1902-1973) worked hard to construct proofs of several mathematical methods and formulae given in original Lilavati. The present work is an enlargement of his Marathi work and attempts a thorough mathematical explanation of definitions, formulae, short cuts and methodology as intended by Bhaskara. Stitches are followed by literal translations so that the reader can enjoy and appreciate the beauty of accurate and musical presentation in Lilavati. The book is useful to school going children, sophomores, teachers, scholars, historians and those working for cause of mathematics.
