Hi,
	There is this book call Vedic Mathematics by Bharati
Krishna Thirtha. I have not read it, but I have heard it is a
good book. It is available from South East Asia Books ( 314- 474 0116 ) 
	- costs about $12.00 I think.
Try it.

There is one book titled 'Vedic Mathematics' by Bharati Krsna Thirta swamiji
of Puri Math. I personally felt that there is hardly anything even ancient
Indian Mathematics,
leave alone Vedic Mathematics in that book. I participated in a seminar on
Vedic Mathematics in Bangalore, sometime in 1991. I found that there were
attempts to only modify existing mathematical techniques and call them Vedic.
I resisted this to the core. There are also so many books around all based on
the same above book. Worse is that many people in Bangalore and someother
cities have started making money by taking tution classes, claiming that they
teach vedic mathematics. Especially, there was one prof from Ranchi engg
college, whose skills in oratory were par excellance. But stuff in his talk,
atleast I felt was all B.. 

So, in my opinion, if an American is interested in Vedic or ancient Indian
Mathematics, please do not refer him to this book. He may permenently dub all
Indian claims as B..

I could find a few really good books on ancient Indian Mathematics. I have
all these books in India. I can only very vaguely remember their titles:

	'Aryabhatiya' - This contains both the original sanskrit verses of
Aryabhatta and their translation in English. It is a very old publication.

Another book of interest would be 'Suryasiddanta'. This again is a very old 
publication. I remember another book on Bhaskaracharya's beeja ganitam. 
I don't exactly remember its title.

There is a book stall in chamaraj peth, B'lore by name 'Vedanta Book
House'. I have got most of these books from there. You may keep in touch 
with him. Very rarely he gets a few books of this type.
