Ábaco






The ábaco is an instrument successful that, according to the scholars, was an invention of the Chinese to facilitate the calculations, because with the passage of time has emerged the need to "accounts" increasingly complex, thereby invented the ÁBACO, formed by parallel wires and sliding accounts or washers, which according to its position, represents the amount to be carved, contains 2 sets by wire, 5 accounts in all the units and 2 accounts representing 5 units.
The ábaco was disseminating throughout society, with the same function, which was only changed its nomenclature: The ábaco Japanese is known as SONOBAN, the Russians call TSCHOTY.
A person who manuseava a ábaco with agility could make a multiplication of 5 digits with the same speed that a person is now using a digital calculator.
Even today, after 3 thousand years of its invention, traders in some areas of Asia are still using this instrument.
Observes in the figures below several types of ábacos:
How do the calculations in ábaco?

The calculation starts left, or in column highest involved in their calculation, working from left to right. So if you want to add to 548 and 637, first put 548 on the calculator. Hence, add 6 to 5. Below the standard 6 = 10 - 4 to remove the 5 on the edge of the hundreds and add 1 in the same herd (- 5 + 1 = - 4) then add one of the accounts of thousands to the edge of the left. It passes the three o'clock to four o'clock, seven o'clock to eight o'clock, ábaco appear in the answer: 1,185.

For operate well, from left to right, the calculation can be started as soon as you know the first digit. In mental arithmetic or writing, calculation starts from units or on the right side of the problem.

Leap Year

Leap Year is one that has a day to more than the conventional 365 days. In the Gregorian calendar, the day extra is included in every 4 years, and added in the month of February, which shall be 29 days. The year leap occurs by the fact that the year-conventional calendar has a small difference with the solar year. While in the first year lasts 365 days to complete, the second lasted 365.25 days.

These 0.25 correspond to a quarter of a day. Therefore, every four years, there is a difference of one day on the calendar conventional and solar. This day is precisely what characterizes the year leap.

Indeed, the day extra which serves as timing is not the day on February 29 as most people think, but yes, the 24th of that month. To learn if a year is leap or not, just to see if the number of year is divisible by 400 (with the rest of the difference to zero) or if it is divisible by 4 but not by 100. Ex: 1996, 2000, 2004, 2012, etc..

The year leap has to be done in 238 BC In Egypt, Ptolemy III (246-222 BC). There the need to synchronize the days of the year by the fact that any discrepancy affected the agriculture, the foundation of the economy of ancient peoples.
Some think that the name "leap" is given by the fact that year has 366 days, which is not true. Indeed, Julio Cesar chose the month of February and chose "to make a bis" or "double" the 24th, calling it the "antediem bis - sextum Calendas Martii." It was there that came the name "leap".
