I did it by running 'calc' and pressing the buttons '1/19='. Computer algorithms did the rest.

The trouble with 'Vedic mathematics' is that it's just a bunch of tricks that let you come up with simple arithmetic answers a bit quicker -- some Indian guys have spent the past 2,000 years observing and studying patterns of positional notation and coming up with a couple of shortcuts in all that time, but nothing more. Basic arithmetic is only useful for accountancy. No calculus, no more advanced mathematics. None of it means anything if you're trying to launch a satellite and do some meaningful calculations. Clearly in the information age calculators and spreadsheets have pretty much superseded the need for Vedic shortcuts just to add up a few numbers. To make is a mark of pride is a bit sad, really.

Is it 0.0526315789473684 ? Through long division or Windows 'calc'.

I just wanted to say it reminded me of another conceptual mathematical area I struggled with. Complex numbers are used in electrical theory to emulate circuit behaviour under AC, which is even more bewildering lol.

Not sure about the real numbers math replacement.

the techniques certainly are interesting for doing quick arithmetic on large numbers. remember the days when they used to have rooms full of people with slide rules doing the calculations for various physics projects etc, just before modern computers really took off -- they were all replaced with a Univac in the end. I know floating point processors also use 'shortcuts' to operate using lookup tables and the like to do various types of calculation. The more we use spreadsheets, the less we do manual arithmetic -- and we don't trust our own answers anyhow...
