vedic math

[PsychoStick]

I found this while browsing randomly one day looking for stories from the Vedas. I especially like the the long multiplication and fractions simplification. Of course, whoever sat down and figured out ways to do this in your head that pretty much anyone can use had way too much time on his hands. And this actually has nothing to do with the Vedas so I don't know why they call it vedic math.

Well, if you belonged to a Brahmin cast, there wasn't much else to do. Cool stuff, nonetheless.
