    Extractions: How did people keep track of numbers before pen and paper were widely available? How does addition and subtraction work if you don't have a handy written form for your numbers? Say you can't read or write, but you can count - how do you add, subtract, multiply, or divide large numbers? The answer to all these questions is . . . the abacus! What is an abacus? An abacus is a device used for addition and subtraction, and the related operations of multiplication and division. It does not require the use of pen and paper, and it's good for any base number system. There are two basic forms for the abacus: a specially marked flat surface used with counters (counting table), or a frame with beads strung on wires (bead frame). Timeline of the Abacus Chinese Abacus ************************************* Japanese Abacus *************************** Aztec Abacus ******* Counting Table ****************************************** 600 BC 500 BC 900 AD 1600 AD 1826 AD 1999 AD Although counting tables are obsolete now, they have over 2000 years of documented use. Their earliest form was that of a simple stone slab with incised parallel lines. The lines served to mark the place values. The earliest known counting table is from the island of Salamis in Greece. The latest surviving counting table is from the end of the 16th century and is in a museum at Strasbourg (Pullan 53). The only real difference between the early and later forms is the direction of the place value lines: horizontal or vertical.

    Extractions: Jump to: navigation search Abacus Abacus is a very old tool used for arithmetic . It is still used in some parts of the world. Sometimes blind people will use an abacus, because they can feel the numbers easily. The most common abacuses work by moving beads on rods. Abacuses can do addition subtraction multiplication division , and people can use them to find the square root of whole numbers .

    Extractions: Go to my home page On the left, you see two abacuses (abaci is also correct). On both abacuses, we see the number 1998. The top area of each abacus is used for fives, and the bottom area is used for ones. Abacuses are used for doing arithmetic. When doing arithmetic, you move the beads. The position of the beads represents the sum, or product, so far. It is how you can remember the partial sum or product. Experts in the use of the abacus can be very fast (and accurate), often faster than an expert with a calculator, especially addition and subtraction. Such an expert on the abacus is especially adept at data entry. In the original version of this article, I mistakenly had the top area of the two abacuses upside down. To start out, the abacus registers zero, with the bottom (ones) beads all the way down, and the top (fives) beads up I won't get deeply into the mechanics of using an abacus. Let me just say, to add one to a number, you either move a bead (in the rightmost "ones" column) up, or move all four beads down then execute a carry into the "fives" area. This carry just involves moving the five bead down (remember that up is a zero and down is a five), or moving it up (to zero) then executing a second carry into the "tens" column. The Japanese abacus, the soroban, is more elegant, as the Chinese abacus has redundant beads. With the Chinese abacus, you never have to use the bottom bead in each column, in both the "ones" and "fives" areas. These extra beads are apparently useful, if you use an extra step every time you carry. You notice that you have all five beads up, so then you know you should execute a carry.

On the other hand, the plebeians could become dangerous as a horde of barbarians – and descend from the hills to the city, but with the worst intentions. For the restless and unreasonable exploited, the mediation of the managers might be as hateful as the powers in office and as ineffective as a lesson in public spirit made to one who already has his feet on the table. Police, even in white overalls, might not be enough."
