INTEGRATING VEDIC MATHEMATICAL TECHNIQUES INTO ENGINEERING: A FUSION OF TRADITION AND TECHNOLOGY
An ancient system of mathematical knowledge, from the Vedic-related texts of India, there is also a set of rich techniques of solving complex problems by using these techniques with remarkable speed and accuracy. Although its historical importance, its practical applicability in modern fields of engineering and technology is not properly explored. The paper addresses the fusion of Vedic mathematical techniques with contemporary engineering applications and their applications in optimizing calculation and improvement of problem-solving efficiency. We show such effectiveness of core Sutras (mathematical formulas) like 'Nikhilam', 'Ekadhikena Purvena' in domains of signal processing, control systems, cryptography, and optimization algorithms. This can greatly decrease computation time and improve accuracy, providing new insights to engineers and researchers in many technological domains, and by integrating such methods, they are shown to streamline computation further. Additionally, it talks about the interdisciplinary links between Vedic Mathematics, history, philosophy, and modern science, as an integrated proposition to the issues of problem solving. The paper demonstrates through case studies and examples that Vedic Mathematics can supplement traditional engineering practices and there is potential for innovations as well as improvement in the methods of educational methodologies. This work finally calls for the integration of Vedic mathematical principles within the engineering curriculum to bridge the gap between ancient knowledge and advanced technological advancements.
