The
abacus, also called a counting frame, is a calculating tool used
primarily in parts of Asia for performing arithmetic processes. Today,
abaci are often constructed as a bamboo frame with beads sliding on
wires, but originally they were beans or stones moved in grooves in
sand or on tablets of wood, stone, or metal. The abacus was in use
centuries before the adoption of the written modern numeral system and
is still widely used by merchants, traders and clerks in Asia, Africa,
and elsewhere. The user of an abacus is called an abacist
