Who invented abacus maths12/2/2023 ![]() ![]() The large-sized Chinese Abacus was improved into a handier smaller-sized one. Mathematician’s constant and diligent study developed a distinct Japanese method of Abacus operation different from original Chinese method. This type of Abacus is still being used in china this day’s.Ī little past by the middle of the 15th century, the Chinese Abacus and its operational techniques were introduced to Japan. The Chinese abacus used to have two counters above the bar and five below. A book written by Wu Ching – Hsin – Min in 1450 gives description of the Abacus. In china, the Chinese abacus came into common use during the Ming Dynasty. Some additional counters were laid on the right to facilitate the calculation of fractions. One counter was laid in each of the upper grooves, while four in each of the lower grooves. In Roman abacus several grooves were carved into the board along which counters were moved up and down. Romans made use of a more advanced design. It consists of a white marble board (149 by 75 Cm) with lines drawn on it. A famous example of the line abacus is the Salamis Abacus preserved at the Athens Museum. ![]() Herodotus (484 – 425 BC) most likely refers to a line abacus in his records : “The Egyptians move their hands from right to left in calculation, while the Greeks from left to right”. Its wide use in Egypt, Rome, Greece, India, and other ancient civilization is well attested. With time, the dust abacus developed into a ruled board on which pebbles or counters were placed on lines somewhat like checkers on a backgammon board. The early civilization of Mesopotamia may have seen the development of such a rudimentary calculator. Numbers and quantities were calculated by means of various signs drawn along the lines. The sand was divided into lines, each one representing a different numerical position. The original utilization of an Abacus related calculation system is presumed to have been in the form of a board covered with dust or fine sand. For westerners – this is not very useful unless you want to do calculations in 16ths of an inch or maybe hexadecimal The Japanese Soroban has been streamlined for the Hindu-Arabic number system and each rod can represent one of 10 different numbers (0-9) and has no wasted beads for our decimal calculations. The Chinese abacus is capable of counting 16 different numbers from 0 to 15 on each individual rod which was useful since their units of weight were (are?) measured in 16ths. have one bead above the reckoning bar and four below it. ![]() The Chinese abacus instrument has two beads above the reckoning bar and five beads below it, were as Japanese soroban. ![]() The Japanese Soroban has been in use since at least the 16th century.There are some key differences between the two types of instruments. The modern Chinese abacus has been in use since about the 14th century. Later it finally evolved into a framed device with beads sliding along bamboo rods. Later this evolved into a slate with groves where rocks or other counters would be placed to mark numbers. 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. The Abacus is one of the worlds first real calculating tools. The Abacus (or Soroban as it is called in Japan) is an ancient mathematical instrument used for calculation. The history of abacus dates back to nearly 2500 years back. ![]()

I might have Foobar running at the time listening to something else in the background. This top level music directory is what I have Foobar scan whenever it's running. When I download FLACs, I typically download the zips to a temporary directory and then move them over to an appropriate directory on my music HDD when I unzip them and modify the tags. My questions though are why is Foobar2k not displaying the correct tag information all the time and what can I do to have it reload the current tag information any time the file is accessed without having to do it manually? Only now have I found the tag reload option which seems to fix the issue. Foobar2k seems to display the original tag information yet Mp3tag shows it to be the correct data. Whenever I create or download a FLAC, I always modify the tag(s) using Mp3tag before playing them.

Why? Because the Lebel was the world's first small bore military rifle using an efficient smokeless powder cartridge. There was an immediate reaction in German military circles bordering on hysteria. In 1886, the French Army unveiled the Modelle 1886 "Lebel" rifle. Rare 1892 dated Mauser Kar 88 Carbine, only 37" in overall length, federally classified as an antique due to its pre-1898 manufacture date. During the Great War cavalry was quickly becoming a thing of the past once trench warfare was introduced.īy WW2 the Germans had adopted the Mauser 98K Rifle, again in the improved 7.92mm caliber, this rifle was shorter than the Gew 98, longer than the carbine, and became the standard. It was superceded in 1898 with the introduction of the Gew 98 rifle also in an updated version of the same caliber and many 88s were updated and then marked with a small "S" on the receiver ring to indicate it could be used with the upgraded ammunition.īoth the Mauser Model 88 and 98 rifles and carbines saw extensive use in WWI. This little carbine used an integral 5 shot box magazine and was extremely popular. In 1891 this was cutting edge technology as the Gewehr 1888 Mauser rifles and carbines were the first to use the 7.92mm cartridge that replaced the 10.4mm used in the Mauser 1871/84 tubular magazine rifles. ![]() It does look quite old, but definitely more recent than WWI. The rifle is fitted with a very nice brown leather sling, though we do not know if it is original German issue. It bears an S marked over the chamber to indicate modification for the S-PATRONE cartridge introduced in 1903 (we do not recommend firing the S-cartridge in this carbine). This short carbine was intended for use by cavalry units. There is just a bit of overall hazing and light wear. ![]() The carbine has an 18" barrel and a very good bore, with a mostly bright finish and clear lands and grooves. This was definitely a carbine that saw long service. There is also overall wear, however there are no major structural issues or repairs that we can see. The stock is in good shape, but does show wear, especially on the bottom of the butt stock, which is now well below the level of the butt plate. Most of the major parts of the gun that we can see are marked with serial number 9248 or the shorter 48 on some parts. The barrel bands and stock screws have number 79 on them, so the screws or possibly the entire stock was replaced at arsenal. in German blackface type, and there are additional proof marks on various components of the carbine.
