- Abstract: Augmenting teaching with visualization can help students understand concepts
better. Researchers have leveraged visualization to teach conventional
mathematics some examples being spatial and origami visualizations. Apart from
conventional mathematics, systems such as mental arithmetic involve techniques
for rapid calculation without the use of any computing tools and hence have
been used in developing computational competence among students. Vedic
Mathematics is one such set of techniques for mental computation. However,
there is a lack of technical tools which tackle mental arithmetic concepts and
provide aid in the teaching of these topics to school students. Therefore, we
propose VedicViz, a web portal that provides dynamic visualization of
mathematical operations such as addition, multiplication and square root
calculation, based on techniques in Vedic Mathematics. The web portal also
provides visualization that enables learners to compare and contrast the mental
mathematics based approach with the traditional methods for various inputs and
operations. We evaluated VedicViz with 20 volunteers, who were in their high
school education level. They found our web portal to be useful in practicing
and learning to use the methods to perform various mathematical operations.

We introduce Augmented Math, a machine learning-based approach to authoring AR explorable explanations by augmenting static math textbooks without programming.
To augment a static document, our system first extracts mathematical formulas and figures from a given document using optical character recognition (OCR) and computer vision.
This empowers non-technical users, such as teachers or students, to transform existing math textbooks and handouts into on-demand and personalized explorable explanations.
