| | Chinese abacus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Another possible source of the Chinese abacus is Chinese counting rods, which operated with a decimal system but lacked the concept of a zero as a place holder. | | | But when the functionality of calculators improved beyond simple arithmetic operations, most people realized that the abacus could never compute higher functions – such as those in trigonometry – faster than a calculator. | | | In the early days of handheld calculators, news of abacus operators beating electronic calculators in arithmetic competitions in both speed and accuracy often appeared in the media. |

| | It's inventor is unknown, but the abacus is often referred to as the "first computer" because it was used as a mathematical model for early electronic computers. | | | The abacus can be used to add, subtract, multiply, and divide as well as work with sophisticated mathematical problems such as fractions and square roots. | | | The calculations made on an abacus are immediate, with the device retaining the results in "visual storage" much like a computer display. |

| | The Abacus |
| | Technically, the abacus is a hand-held digital calculator, but that the user must perform some sort of arithmetic manipulations before the solution is arrived at. | | | If you've actually read this user's guide up to this point, hoping to learn how to use the abacus to its maximum potential, I should tell you that you'd be better off using a hand-held (or pop-up) digital calculator. | | | Essentially, the exercise was designed to be didactic; from my programming stand-point, it was an interesting program to attempt and hopefully, the user would learn a thing or two (admit it, you now know how an abacus works). |

| | Abacus |
| | The abacus can be thought of as a type of digital calculator in that it works with exact numbers, while a slide rule, being an analog device, cannot calculate with exact numbers but with "rounded" ones. | | | The Chinese name for the device is hsuan-pan, or "computing tray." | | | In skilled hands an abacus is a swift, reliable, and precise arithmetic calculator. |

| | Word History: The adjective dusty, with its connotations of disuse and age, might seem to be an appropriate word to describe the abacus, since this counting device was used for solving arithmetical problems in the days before the advent of calculators and computers. | | | Each wire represents one place in the decimal system. | | | The first use of the word abacus, recorded in Middle English in a work written before 1387, refers to a sand-board abacus, in this case, one used by the Arabs. |
