architecture and also scientific thought. Looking at Sanskrit literature, the literature
developed for expressing mathematical thoughts and ideas have their special place in
linguistic evolution. We can observe that the technical Sanskrit language evolved through
the centuries as rich mathematical ideas developed. For the expression of these ideas, the
strong technical vocabulary of the language was needed. This language approach was
very different, it can be compared to today’s technical vocabulary we have developed for
modern computer which was alien even 30 years ago. The ancient technical vocabulary
was difficult for contemporary scholars to understand and hence mathematical ideas
remain hidden in it for a longer time.
The new approach of mathematics invented and developed by Bharti Krishna
Tirtha, which did not show such language barriers. It was written in the form of one-line
simple Sanskrit words called ‘sutra’. The deep meaning of sutra, its connection and its
interpretation to different branches of mathematics and also the deep spiritual thought
behind the sutra, is worth studying and researching.
In my research paper, I will be presenting the technicalities of ancient
mathematical language and exploring the method of Pythagorean triples through the
Vedic mathematics ‘sutras’ formulated by Bharati Krishna Tirtha. I will also be
highlighting the applications of triples in current mathematical scenario, to connect the
different fields of mathematics, implication of which is making mathematics easy,
conceptually clear and also perceived with a new dimension of thought.
Key words: triples, sutras, Vedic mathematics, trigonometry

I will explore the methods in Vedic mathematics where negative numbers are used constructively. Finally, I will suggest the methodologies which will help students to deal with negative numbers effectively.
