Astronomical Applications of Vedic Mathemetics is a self-contained book which shows Vedic mathematics applications in many areas of Astronomy including Prediction of Eclipses the Solution of Kepler`s Equation (an important equation in astronomy for finding planetary coordinates), Solution of Spherical Triangles, Prediction of Planetary Positions.

The remarkable system of Vedic mathematics was created after careful study of ancient -Sanskrit texts early last century. The Vedic system with its direct, easy and flexible approach forms a complete system of mental, mathematics (though the methods can also' be written down) and brings out the naturally coherent and unified structure of mathematics. Many of the features and techniques of this unique system are truly amazing in their efficiency and originality. Being a mental system, Vedic Mathematics encourages creativity and innovation. Mental mathematics increases mental agility, improves memory, the ability to hold ideas in the mind and promotes confidence, as well as being of great practical use. This course consists of three textbooks an Answer Book and a Teacher's Guide. The course is aimed at 11-14 year old pupils though some of it is very suitable for children from 8 years. Vedic Mathematics is being taught in many schools world-wide with great success: many top mathematics prizes have been won by students of this system.

Vertically and Crosswise is an advanced book of sixteen chapters on one Vedic Mathematics sutra. Primarily it deals with the solution of equations, ranging from elementary examples of the sutra to no linear partical differential equations. Other topics include the inversion of matrices, curve-fitting, and methods of obtaining series expansions of common functions of one and ot two independent variables.

The mysteries of the fifth Canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam have long puzzled students of Vedic cosmography and astronomy. Confronted with a description of the universe that seems much at variance with the information provided by our senses and standard astronomical calculations, foreign observers and even Indian commentators from the middle ages up to the present have concluded that the Bhagavatam`s account elaborated in other Puranas must be mythological. On the other hand the same persons have been much impressed with vedic astronomical treatises the jyotisasastras which provide remarkably accurate measurements of the solar system.
