Let Prof Suresh Dani, from the renowned Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), put matters in perspective, and give you valuable insights on what to expect from Vedic Mathematics -- both as a calculational aid, as well as its shortcomings and limited applicability. This talk cum discussion session, sure to be attended by both the supporters and detractors of Vedic Maths, will be buzzing with activity, as either side puts forth its point to the professor himself, who has, we should mention, published texts on the matter acknowledged world over!
