Abacus Introduction
Concept of Abacus :
The abacus also called a counting frame, is a calculating tool used for performing
arithmetic processes. The abacus was in use centuries before the adoption of the
written modern numeral system and is still globally used by Merchant, Traders,
Accountant etc.
Abacus is a Latin word which has its origins from the Greek words abax or abakon
which means table or a tablet. From the shape of an abacus we can easily derive why
it is called in such a way. In the olden days people have used their hands and pebbles
for counting and for larger numbers they have nominated twigs and bigger pebbles.
In those days the calculations were made simple with the help of counting boards
and abacus.
Even after the civilizations had progressed to numerals, decimals and the invention
of zero; abacus followed them through their technology and inventions. The ease
and fastness of calculation with abacus made it a very popular piece of mathematics.
The concept of abacus was passed on to many generations and it had changed many
forms from places to places. The Chinese had developed a newer version of abacus
known as suan pan while the Japanese had converted it to another form known as
soroban.
