Abacus

Abacus has brought a revolution in the mathematics world, as it is a calculating machine. It is a simple apparatus which breaks down the complexion of mathematics, and is world famous now. Almost all the country’s children are familiar with this abacus and those who learnt the technique of calculation through abacus were real quick than others. This abacus is thought to have originated in Babylon about five thousand years ago. Originally, abacuses were a shallow tray, filled with dust and sand, so that the numbers can be recorded and erased easily. But the modern abacus is made of wood or plastic.
