85. How To Use SOROBAN(ABACUS) With Java
    Before starating calculation by soroban(or abacus), hold soroban at its When all top beads up and all bottom beads down, the soroban(abacus) shows zero.  
    http://www.soroban.com/howto_eng.html
    
    Extractions: As illustrated below, the soroban is calculating instrument with a number of counting beads that slide back and for th along rods. Each one-bead has the value of "one". Each five-bead has the value of "five". The columns toward the left always have higher values than those toward the right. Always use the thumb and the forefinger to slide the beads back and forth.Hold other three fingers lightly. Always use the thumb to add the one value beads. Always use the forefinger to add the five value beads and to take away beads. Here is an easy way to clear the soroban and make it show zero before operations. Before starating calculation by soroban(or abacus), hold soroban at its left end of frame with your left thumb and index-finger and slightly tilt it towards yourself. This makes all the counting beads stay downward as in the Fig. . Gently lay the soroban down flat on the desk. Move your right forefinger from left to right along the upper edge of the bar. This will push up all the top beads. When all top beads up and all bottom beads down, the soroban(abacus) shows zero. So now playing Abacus!!

    Extractions: Italy between 2nd and 5th centuries "The word abacus is used to describe one of the earliest calculating devices: digital, manually operated and with no automatic features, the abacus was the first computing device to provide five fixed decimal orders. The Romans improved the primitive abaci. Counting beads (made of stone or ivory) were strung on a series of wire or rods, and calculations were performed by moving them back and forth according to a set of rules. (collection IBM Europe)."

    Essay on the history of computers from the abacus, logarithm, ENIAC, and massively parallel computers. Written by computer pioneer Philip Emeagwali.  
    http://www.emeagwali.com/essays/technology/computing/history-of-computing-abacus
    
    Extractions: T he word "computer" is often thought to have been coined with the advent of the first electronic computer in 1946. Actually, according to Webster's dictionary, the earliest recorded use of "computer" came exactly 300 years earlier, in 1646. From the 17th century until the turn of the 20th century, the term was used to describe people whose jobs involved calculating. In his 1834 book Memoirs of John Napier of Merchiston , Mark Napier wrote:"Many a man passes for a great mathematician because he is a huge computer. Hutton and Maseres were great calculators rather than great mathematicians. When their pages were full of figures and symbols, they were happy. [John] Napier alone, of all philosophers in all ages, made it the grand object of his life to obtain the power of calculation without its prolixity."

    Extractions: A HISTORY OF THE COMPUTER: PREHISTORY T he abacus, a simple counting aid, may have been invented in Babylonia (now Iraq) in the fourth century B.C. The Antikythera mechanism, used for registering and predicting the motion of the stars and planets, is dated to the first century B.C. It was discovered off the coast of Greece in 1901. Arabic numerals are introduced to Europe in the eighth and ninth centuries A.D. Roman numerals remain in use in some parts of Europe until the seventeenth century. The Arabic system introduced the concepts of the zero and fixed places for tens, hundreds, thousand, etc., and greatly simplified mathematical calculations. John Napier, Baron of Merchiston, Scotland, invents logs in 1614. Logs allow multiplication and division to be reduced to addition and subtraction. Wilhelm Schickard builds the first mechanical calculator in 1623. It can work with six digits, and carries digits across columns. It works, but never makes it beyond the prototype stage. Schickard is a professor at the University of Tubingen, Germany. Blaise Pascal builds a mechanical calculator in 1642. It has the capacity for eight digits, but has trouble carrying and its gears tend to jam.

    Extractions: Rev 1.05 - March 2, 2005 INTRODUCTION The Abacus (or Soroban as it is called in Japan) is an ancient mathematical instrument used for calculation. The Abacus is one of the worlds first real calculating tools – and early forms of an Abacus are nearly 2500 years old. The word Abacus is derived from the Greek "Abax" meaning counting board and the original types of Abacus were stone slates with dust covering them and a stylus used for marking numbers. Later this evolved into a slate with groves where rocks or other counters would be placed to mark numbers. Later it finally evolved into a framed device with beads sliding along bamboo rods. Suan Pan ) and on a Japanese Soroban . The modern Chinese abacus has been in use since about the 14th century. The Japanese Soroban has been in use since at least the 16th century. I much prefer the Japanese Soroban as a more aesthetically pleasing and a more efficient calculating instrument. There are some key differences between the two types of instruments. Here is a picture of a traditional Chinese Abacus. As you can see this instrument has 2 beads above the reckoning bar and 5 beads below it.
