Vedic Maths And ANN - The dawn on the horizon!

Hi all,

A very worm welcome to you. You might be wondering what a wiered topic is this!

The whole story started like this. I still remember the day when I was roaming around in the book exhibition and I noticed the series of books on "Vedic Mathematics" in Marathi. At that time I was too young to be crazy about anything as I was not earning at that time. One day suddenly something came to my mind and I went to the market and bought all those books I had seen few years back in the exhibition.

I started doing some research on Vedic Mathematics out of curiosity. Trying to learn some short cuts for solving sums. The curiosity started increasing. Then I bought the original book on Vedic Maths by the great "Shri Bharathi Krishnatirthji". I was astonished to see the real great work in this area in the ancient time.

Side by side I started thinking of something in addition to it. Yes! it was Artificial Neural Network(ANN). I was doing my PG studies at Walchand College, Sangli. The day I got to know the power and beauty of ANN I started thinking about Vedic Maths in a different direction. I was very much upset by the statement made in the book. It stated "These methods are not supposed to replace / compete with the digital calculators!". And the thinking cycle again charged up, started looking for some ways to combine the great power of vedic mathematics & ANN. And one concept came to my mind! "Why not train the ANN to solve sums with Vedic methods!" Till date I don't know the feasibility and efficiency of the work that is going to be carried out. I have started googling on these topics and found tremendous amount of help on the topics individually, but till date there is no effort going on in the direction that I have stated above. I was surprised and happy to see that I am going to be the pioneer of this idea, though I don't know the feasibility.

But I believe, if I become successful, it will be a digi-vedic revolution in the world of computing. This is just a start... Still lot more stages to go...

Hence forth I will try to put my thoughts in this blog series till I get my own site up and going. I'll keep posting the work done till date in series, the hurdles I went through and so on...

Also I'll keep posting some of the simple and interesting methods from Vedic Maths on regular intervals.
