- Since 1985, Vedic Mathematics is being taught at the school of Economic Sciences London, St.James School, St.Vedast School, Mary Ward Centre London, School of Philosophy Australia & many other institutions in USA &Holland etc etc...
- Since 1988, a Course was being run at Mary Ward Centre, London, using Vedic mathematics for the entire GLEA-level Maths, (Equivalent to Our 10+2).
Research work on applications of Vedic mathematics was being done in U.K. on Trigonometry, 2/3 Dimensional co-ordinate geometry, solution of linear differential equations, metrics, determinants, log and exponential etc. Many books have been published in U.K. by U.K. writers.etc. Work on Vedic period in regards to mathematics have not survived with the ravages of time and hence our knowledge regarding mathematics of this period i.e. Vedic Samhita, the Brahmans and Vedangas. Religious works of the Buddhists & Jain's and the Aryabhatia of Aryabhatia give some idea of the development of mathematics from 500B.C. to 500 A.D.
A study of the Vedic works reveal that by 500B.C. the Hindus were well versed in the use of Numbers. They knew all fundamental operations of arithmetic i.e. Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division, Squaring, Cubing, Square-root & cube-root etc.They were also Well-Versed in the use of fractional number, mensuration, simple geometrical figures and solutions of some Algebraic problems.
Dr. R. Briggs of NASA, California wrote an article through the A.I. magazine (volume 6,no. 1 spring 1985) "Knowledge Representation in Sanskrit and artificial Intelligence". Secondly, Cover Page of spring 1985 issue of AI is decorated with the Sanskrit Shloks from the second chapter of "Shrimad Bhagvadgita". The contents of the article were as under .....
"Here it is interesting to Speculate as to why the Indians found it worth while to pursue studies into unambiguous coding of natural language into Semantic elements. It is tempting to think of them as computer Scientists". We should not forget that its the Indian thinkers who invented Zero and the Binary numbers system, a thousand years before the West re-invented them. Indian thinkers analysis of language(Sanskrit) casts doubt on the humanistic distinction between natural and Artificial Intelligence and may throw light on research in Artificial Intelligence may finally solve the natural language understanding and machine translation problems.
