Just bought a soroban today. I'm still in school. I am fascinated by this system. If this is the key to great math skills, I will try as hard as possible to learn like the Japanese. Wish me luck

My mother is using soroban when keeping her household accounts still now. She says it is faster and convenient than calculator. In Japan it was common to use soroban in older times. But now we rely on calculator.... Glad to see these children.

Before 1974 it is necessary for every job seeker for financial service or accounting department of big business to master soroban.It was faster and cheaper than calcurater of Casio or NCR accounting machine.When IBM electro-computer machine was introduced there was a dispute of the total speed of input data.IBM won over it.In Japan each bank still has an independent system department, One of its system bytes is larger than government accounting system.

@robotiqz1 It would work theoretically, and you can very well build such a tool. But I think it would not be as efficient as a soroban for human beings to use, Look at the way people use a soroban, you just push from the right bead up or down the full way. Your systeme would require precise positioning of the bead, which takes more time and precision than the standard soroban

In schools in America they teach you everything except number sense. There so hell bent on showing you algebra. I am not a natural at math and considered myself pretty hopeless until I learned about number sense, something I never picked up in school and is generally what they are teaching these kids. Basically teaching kids how to solve a problem logically and efficiently instead of mechanically going through some stale time consuming process.God for bid you learn to subtract from left to right

The young boy that became the square-mask pink soldier and later was headshot by the Frontman seems fitting enough.

There is a reason why we use calculators. Soroban might be useful for adding and subtracting, but I can hardly see it being effective for exponential numbers and a whole lot of other different set of numbers. Not to mention integrals, derivata and other more "advanced" methods of math
@argonwheatbelly6376 жыл бұрын
Calculators were four-function, mostly. Scientific ones were expensive, and you could still get better answers from log-table books. You could approximate with a fair amount of accuracy on a slide-rule, and yes, you can take square-roots on a soroban; however, there's not a lot of room for decimal places, even on some of the widest. As for being useful, it's for practical math, essentially. If you want to work in a different algebra than the common one most people use, then it's all writing on paper anyway. :-)

The Japanese abacus is an improved version of the Chinese abacus. Even though the Chinese abacus has 2 rows of beads in the top echelon, the top row is an ornament, and only the bottom row is used. The Japanese removed the ornament top row beads so that the Japanese abacus has only 1 row of beads in the top echelon. The Japanese also changed the spherical beads of the Chinese abacus to diamond shaped ones for faster operations.
@IrrevMike6 жыл бұрын
HollyNihon The Chinese abacus has two beads above the reckoning bar and five below because it's set for hexadecimal calculations. The Japanese modified it to one above and four below for decimal use.

@IrrevMike3 жыл бұрын
@@genesisbustamante-durian According to Wikipedia, "It has been suggested[by whom?] that at one time or another, a way of using the seven beads on each wire to represent hexadecimal digits was used to add and subtract Chinese weights, where one jin (斤) equals sixteen liang (兩). Such a method would not work on a soroban, since only 10 combinations rather than 18 are available on each rod." Perhaps instead of being a fucking troll you could do a little research. Idiot.

I see no point in that. For more complex math (wich include linear algebra, complex numbers and so on) you have to deal with in the industry you have to use computer algebra systems. Now and in the future. It would be much better if these little children got to know to the CAS. So this mental arithmetic is just nonsens in my opinion.
