               5. What’s Abacus?









































                   Abacus,  as  seen  in  the  picture,  is  a  device  that

                   consists of beads sliding along rods in a frame. This


                   simple  tool,  which  is  estimated  to  have  been

                   invented  about  3000  years  ago,  is  in  fact  like  a

                   powerful computer that can be used for any kind of

                   calculation.
