mayan math incredible

[wade9638]

how about 999999999999999999999999999999­999999999x6004354

[EvilNinjaDee]

@PoPh123 no zeros…-.-

[CerebralPrince10]

If you want to do this mentally take ABC *DEF

Your product will be (A*D)(A*E+B*D)(A*F+B*E+C*D)(B*­F+C*E)*(C*F)

So if it is 123 *321

(1*3)(1*2+2*3)(1*1+2*2+3*3)(2*­1+3*2)(3*1)

(3)(8)(14)(8)(3)

move the 14 in the hundreds to the thousands

(3)(9)(4)(8)(3)

39483 :-) Now you can multiply bigger products easier :-)

[CerebralPrince10]

Savants are known for making visuals and seeing mental connections like this, every student should learn this as well as other methods of doing the same thing to broaden their perspectives. Thank You!

[lucyk6992]

Fascinating. And all taught to them by a white god with long, white hair. I wonder whom he was.

[PoPh123]

are there any rules?

[propnash]

crazy... this is vedic math from india

[Uwohilatlitigv]

I just did it with 226x142 and got 32,092. That is the correct answer, so I suppose this method does work pretty well. ^_^

[SandKnowHow]

That ain't an mayan technique...

[campseagullboy]

ANY NUMBERS???



[namtaw]

That's cool. I think there's a lot to be said about opening our minds to different ways of doing things. Not assume that our way is the best way to figure things out. Makes me want to learn more about indigenous cultures and meet indigenous people.

[IrieQueenful]

wow this is crazy!!!!!



[awshucks]

Not mayan math at all.  Vedic Math, illustrated by Titharji.

[yinyangcali]

why always 1, 2, and 3?

[july95211]

The real name of the mayans is actually Walazz, they were All blakk Allkikaz women..

[Intang31]

@jobvx: equal ERROR

[abdulah786]

Cool

[bugeyemonster]

umm mayan's had a base 20 number system

[alinbara]

how about 32x419, for example? 'cause in your example are numbers look alikes. like hundreds or tens.

[jdale2fresh]

i know a faster and easier method. a calculator But what do you do if theres a 0.

[JustinLB82]

It's not just the Mayans, every ancient civilization had what would seem to be an advanced knowledge of astrology, mathematics and more. I just wish someone would tell us all the truth about our origins and where the seed for this world really came from. There's too much cryptology left behind by our ancients for rational science to be able to explain away everything, it's just frustrating at this point that we're still lied to about the first civilizations, and beyond.

[nugsoth7]

@JustinLB82 If you read Augustus LePlongeon (Origin of the Egyptians), and Crichton Miller (Golden Thread of Time), you would be 100 light years ahead in terms of getting a real grasp of history, not just more "What If" specials and "astronaut gods" mythology -> people are just as superstitious now as they were in medieval times.

[garcia1627]

dont u guys get it!!!!!!!!! this means mayans r way more smarter than any one in this world that has lived after them even Einstein they understood numbers before him and multiplied by even larger numbers who cares about how easy math is know if they were still here today in our modern society all of us would be like retarded people who cant add 2+2 WITHOUT THINKING!!

[lmnopqa]

really nice but my calculator is faster

[ZachariasClub]

so... like lattice, but with a different name.

[spk978400]

What happens when there is a Zero? Thanks.

[wiN4t]

@spk978400 then it automaticly becomes zero. 4365434324217789009867543231 x 0 = 0 easy, isn't it?

[TwilightCage]

Exactly >>

[ffloydsmith]

Draw a dashed line and don't count the intersections!

[Entertainmentwf]

My question is with this method, how would you construct an algorithm properly to do this... This looks incredibly unnecessary but, looks nice for arithmetic. Keep in mind this isn't doing mathematics. This is just fondling with numbers. 

[borderhopper619]

amazing! if only modern society had the knowledge the mayans had... we would already be exploring deep into space.

[Entertainmentwf]

@borderhopper619 ... and sacrificing eachother... doubt it. Mathematics we have today far surpasses mayan mathematics. The highest their math went was arithmetic...

[borderhopper619]

@Entertainmentwf maybe if you learned a little bit of history you would learn the purpose of human sacrifice. and no our math today is nothing compared to mayan math. they were able to calculate the movement of stars without the use of computers and machines. it was all in their brain.

[Entertainmentwf]

@borderhopper619 *face palm*, I have done my fair bit of history. I'm a theoretical computer scientist (i.e. I may as well be called a mathematician). You need to learn what mathematics is. Don't be ridiculous. The mayans for their time compared to other cultures were ahead of their time but, seriously they did NOT HAVE CALCULUS for simple sake. The most advanced thing they had was MODULO arithmetic. Modulo arithmetic is handy,that is how they tracked stars because, they have a period mod m

[borderhopper619]

@Entertainmentwf have you learned how to use Mayan numbers? today we need calculators in order to use huge numbers. Mayans used dots to represent enormous numbers. they did not have the same system of math that is used in modern society, but their own system. and no sorry to disappoint you my brother but i dont believe in all the 2012 bullshit thats in the media today :) and Mayans were also expert astrologists not just astronomists.

[Entertainmentwf]

@borderhopper619 astrology is bullshit ;).

It is quite clear you haven't studied number theory. WE DO NOT NEED CALCULATORS FOR LARGE NUMBERS. Mathematicians do not really use calculators that often in reality. I have used binary, hexidecimal, mayan, decimal and many other number systems. There is nothing really that special once you know how to change between number bases (mayan is just 20). Base 20 is a horrible number system (from experience). Binary or decimal is much more natural.

[borderhopper619]

@Entertainmentwf to tell you the truth math isnt really my thing. i really cant get a hang of it. Mayan numbers were pretty easy to learn i dont see how a base of 20 is horrible. and that link would be nice.

[Entertainmentwf]

@borderhopper619 Okay let me make this clear. Mayan numbers are not important in modern mathematics because, there is much better mathematics. I have studied everything that mayan mathematics has to offer. It can take very little time to grasp in contrast to modern formal systems such as Calculus, Combinatorics, Number Theory (most mayan mathematics is just basic number theory) and many others. Mayans were all about finding periods so what they would do is count with their mayan numbers mod k.

[Entertainmentwf]

@borderhopper619 I must make this clear, computers are mathematics fyi. The very basis of every computer is mathematics. The computer was inspired by the very limits of mathematics in the early 20th century. Humans today already know many of the limits of mathematics and have been developing theorems versus mayans which did not use theorems. They just fondled numbers till they seemed to fit right. I can forward you a good link on mayan mathematics if you like to contrast :).

[Entertainmentwf]

@borderhopper619 LOL, seriously... where did you learn that from? the 2012 conspiracy nuts? Our society has mathematics which would make the mayan maths look like nothing. You got to keep in mind they only had modulo and true they did track stars BUT, not the way we do today. Today we have actual precision and actual trajectories to very close figures. We can predict things coming at us with a good 10 thousand years in advance with the mathematics we have today. A mayan in no way could.

[N1k1mon]

I don't understand the comments asking for instructions, the video IS the instructions.

You just follow the same steps for different numbers. There's really only one sequence of a few steps and a couple variables to take into account.

It's pie dudes.

[utgfilms]

thats pretty cool

[Davidovich]

12 =2+1=3 day

12 =2+1=3 december diciembre

2012

12 =2+1=3 year año

this is not mayan this is a joke of someone with POWER this number of supossed wiseness

Masons 33 the number of "ilumination"

I doubt about that the mayan calendar says this date,ITS NOT TRUE!!!

[JimSmithInChiapas]

I live in a Maya region of Chiapas, Mexico, where I have the pleasure of volunteering with highly dedicated Maya campesinos to improve the awful schools the government foists on them. You can download some of our materials at

[lifes40123]

thanks dude now i know how to multiply in mayan imma showoff to my math teacher. they were great mathmatics

[poopypantsism]

i think this is from the I Ching in China

[XXXGurlRockerXXX]

the person tht did this vid jst copied another vid.. its actually the chinese way not mayan

[buskerbuoy]

How cool

[nickolayer]

It's been called "vedic", now it's "mayan". Great.

[isaaclovezyou]

Mr,Rimmer i need alota help on math lol but yea idk how you do all that its amazing lol u seriously needa teach me how to do all those stuff sir :)

[tiancai69]

i saw a Chinese did it from like 3 years ago, old shit don't copy from others

[jobvx]

how about 9999999999999 X 9999999999999999

[TEKKENISSOFUN]

to do that simply subtract 1 from (9999999999999 -1)(the difference from 1*10 tp the power of 14) then 1*1 ( product of the difference from 1*10 TTP 14) gives 1,

so the answer should be 99999999999980000000000001 :)

simple reallY!! (if you wanna better explanation inbox)

[kentso1983]

@jobvx use a calculator

[19miguel55]

@jobvx no sea payaso

[stripes5150]

@jobvx 99999999999989990000000000001

[1CME90]

WTF!!! The Mayan didn't draw lines like that for their numbers, they used lines and dots together. So WTF is this guy doing?

[Ni213Ki]

I have never seen this before, I like it alot.

[OrcWyvern]

hahahhahaha this is stupid.

First fact, the mayans didn't have numbres like "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0"

second fact, the Mayans had a 20 digit numbers, unlike ours which is a 10 digits system.

Third fact, Mayans didn't use lines to count, their numbers were stacking dots, then lines, then, from 20 and up were symbols. You are showing a primitive way of math, while Mayans were more compicated, they were great astronomers.

[pixovilson]

GET RICH QUICK

[Jitpring]

Ingenious! Primitivism does have its charms.

[quardt10]

is this not vedic math?

[eristderbeste]

its aboutnumbers structures inpace.....iagine a cucbus in space,..nice one bt how to get knon ules..which say you where to begin to take numbers and addieren?

[thefogg]

HUH 3g485???? wtf

[sneer007]

no magic there. and it get's too intricate with numbers larger than 5.

[hrnzgrnz]

The funny thing is, this is just a graphical representation of the same technique any kid would use to multiply two numbers. 21 * 13 = 21 * 10 + 21 * 3 = 210 + 63 = 273 No magic here... :)

[1978werewolf]

Realy interesting!

Please ,explain how to do this!

[biirdonawire]

wow wtf it really works. now, how do you divide?

[franciso7]

@biirdonawire

its ancient

[jaxolotl91]

arrrgh witchcraft and wizardry!!!

[goskoo04]

Omg it works

perfect now i can cheat :) nice thank you

[HotRockx]

This exact same video has been uploaded so many times and not one person has even bothered to put an explination.

you should explain how this is done in the "more info" because this will not make any sense to some ppl

[loadedt2k]

dammmmm i tried it with 64 x 82 and got 5248 :P

[xPuffy96x]

i am mayan and i know how to do this.

[HikaruLove12]

Woahhhh!! can you do more? how you learn how to do this =D

[ladysoph]

fabulous!! was talking about it in uni today and thought i'd check it out. just gonna have to watch it a few more times SLOWER to get it LOL!!!

[SPS148669]

If it was not for european disease the mayan math may have made it to north native americans and we could have been as smart of the chinese. But europeans wipe out our intelligence.

[sackcloth777]

and knowledge has been wiped out many times in many places, like the Alexandra library in Egypt. And the Arab Moslem scholars used to have a lot of knowledge which got wiped out by their ignorant violent uprisings in their divisions.

Sooner or later, I am hoping we might work out that we cause our own crap by the way we treat each other without respect & all the other factors where we don't realize the power of negative words in the psyche.

We wouldnt drink poison yet we feed our minds it daily.

[maatcool]

thats deep dud

[janat234]

@sackcloth777 How is this relevant? BTW, have you ver thought that people belive that they're alway doing the right thing, otherwise they wouldn't be doing it. (regarding some1 feeding your mind- &maybe you too)

[mmmmarshmallow]

woah.

that's cool.

(coming from THE ultimate math nerd)

i'm also interested: what if you have a zero?

[thefogg]

i would assume you'd draw a dotted line and not count any dots on that row

[NuriForns]

What if you have a 0? How do you draw it?

[HONDAOX3]

u dont put a 0. remmeber they didnt belive in a 0 back then. lol

[sackcloth777]

yes this is why in years dates, we dont have a year 0. It goes from 1BC to 1AD.

It's a little ironic that so many have such blind faith in things from BC, but actually do not see the flaws that ignorance brings.

Like if she is a witch see floats, if she is innocent she drowns. (middle ages/dark ages, shown in Monty Pythons "The Holy Grail" comedy) yes it is true, and funny that they thought that way. Such is the trouble of the blind leading the blind. I prefer to understand & think ahead.

[tristanlist]

Yes. Clearly, we should sue Jesus.

[1snazzyg8r]

I realize this is 4 months after you posted on the Mayan math vid, however it is widely known that the Mayans invented the concept of zero.

[sackcloth777]

Perhaps discovered would be better. Indeed all knowledge is already there, it's just our interpretation of it which seems to be an invention.

But long gone are the times when a guess was seen as divine inspiration? For that is truly blind faith. For every idea is improved as we get more knowledgeable about it's workings. One day soon, hopefully, we will stop having war as a possible solution, and seek to build knowledge of peace and maintaining instead. True sacrifice is research, learn & build.

[cfooddinner]

wow !! i juz watch the engineering empire: maya the death empire and learnt bout their maths. It was awesome! the romans might be good at architecture and philosophy, but they are lousy at maths unlike the mayans!!
