Unlock lightning-fast calculation with Vedic mathematics - the ancient Indian system that transforms complex problems into simple solutions. Microsoft MVP Atul Gupta's 165-page guide has helped countless students ace competitive exams like CAT and AIEEE. Can you solve 1,000 problems in half the time?
Atul Gupta, author of The Power of Vedic Maths, is an applied microeconomist and health policy expert renowned for his research on US healthcare systems.
As a Wharton School professor and Dorinda and Mark Winkelman Distinguished Faculty Scholar, Gupta’s work examines productivity drivers in healthcare, including payment reforms and organizational structures. His findings, published in leading journals like the American Economic Review and JAMA, have informed policy debates and regulatory changes, notably cited in the 2022 State of the Union address.
While The Power of Vedic Maths applies ancient mathematical principles to modern problem-solving, Gupta’s academic focus intersects with public finance and industrial organization, reflecting his broader commitment to data-driven solutions. His research is frequently featured in major media outlets like The New York Times and The Economist, and he serves as a commissioner on The Lancet’s commission for reimagining India’s health system.
Gupta holds a PhD in Economics from Stanford University and an MBA from the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad.
The Power of Vedic Maths introduces 16 ancient Vedic sutras to simplify complex calculations mentally, covering algebra, arithmetic, trigonometry, and geometry. Designed for students and professionals, it emphasizes speed and accuracy through techniques like rapid multiplication, division, and square roots, with examples from competitive exams like CAT and CET.
The book targets students (grades 3–12), teachers, parents, and competitive exam aspirants aiming to reduce calculation time. It’s also valuable for professionals seeking mental math skills for finance, coding, or daily tasks. Non-mathematical readers benefit from its step-by-step approach.
Yes—readers praise its clear explanations, 1000+ practice problems, and real-world applications. Reviewers highlight improved exam performance and reduced math anxiety. However, some note missing advanced concepts, though its accessibility makes it a top choice for Vedic math beginners.
Key methods include:

Imagine calculating 998 x 997 in your head in seconds, or instantly knowing that 852 equals 7,225. These aren't party tricks-they're glimpses into a mathematical system that transforms complexity into elegance. The Power of Vedic Maths reveals an ancient approach to mathematics rediscovered by Jagadguru Swami Sri Bharati Krshna Tirthaji after eight years of intensive study of the Vedas. Based on 16 sutras (formulas), this system has revolutionized how thousands worldwide approach calculation. What makes Vedic mathematics truly remarkable isn't just the speed-it's how it transforms intimidating multi-step problems into elegant, often single-line solutions that can be performed mentally. The legendary Shakuntala Devi, known as the "human computer," attributed her extraordinary abilities to these ancient techniques. This isn't just about calculating faster-it's about fundamentally changing our relationship with numbers, revealing the hidden patterns and harmonies that conventional mathematics often obscures.
