A Multiplication Algorithm for Two Integers

Abstract

The term Vedic mathematics usually refers to a set of sixteen word formulas, or sutras, along with their corollaries, that have origin in the Vedas. The Vedas are ancient holy texts from India that can be characterized as the allencompassing repository of Hindu knowledge from eons past. The Urdhva-tiryagbhyam sutra , or algorithm, has similarities to the FOIL (first, outer, inner, last) method that is used in algebra to multiply two binomials. We first illustrate this sutra with examples. Then we focus on similarities between Urdhva-tiryagbhyam and the standard multiplication algorithm, justifications for it, and student projects that relate to this algorithm.
