ABACUS
History bears witnesses of the archaic desires of mankind to invent something extraordinary for ease and problem solving. An abacus, derived from a Greek word abax, that signifies flat surface, was served to depict counting boards in the past. The counting boards had rocks or stones which could be moved to demonstrate addition or subtraction. The most conventional counting tables were considered to be the lines sketched on sand. It was transformed into an actual table that the world now knows as abacus.
