Calculation tools have evolved for thousands of years:
• Abacus (around 2000 BCE) — one of the first counting tools
• Mechanical calculators (1600s–1800s) — used gears and levers
• Electronic calculators (1960s) — replaced mechanical systems
• Pocket calculators (1970s) — made math portable
• Digital software calculators (today) — like this one, using computer processors
Your calculator represents the modern stage of this evolution — fast digital arithmetic powered by algorithms.
People used:
• Mental math techniques
• Counting boards
• Slide rules (used by engineers before digital calculators)
• Logarithm tables
• Paper-based long arithmetic
Slide rules helped build bridges, aircraft, and rockets before electronic calculators existed.
• The first electronic calculator weighed over 20 kg
• Early calculators cost more than a month’s salary
• NASA engineers used slide rules to help land humans on the Moon
• Modern calculators perform millions of operations per second
