It looks like at Bell Labs (part of the phone company) in 1940. It looks like it was in New York City, from the article in the related link.
To do calculations using complex numbers.
Most complex calculators have pi built into it. But you can use 3.14 if you only have a four function calc.
The introduction of the 1st mechanical calculator was invented in Europe. This type of calculator production then spread world wide. The first ever was invented by Willhelm Schickard.
The first adding calculator machine was invented by Blaise Pascal.
The first calculator was invented in 1623.
To do calculations using complex numbers.
George Stibitz invented what he described as the complex number calculator. He conceived the electrical digital computer in 1937 at Bell Labs.
who invented the first mechanical digital calculator
calculating complex sums.
Calculators, probably in the 1980's (I know for a fact the HP 48 calculator circa 1992 handled complex and imaginary numbers) helped people perform calculations with complex numbers, without having to figure conjugates, angles, etc. on paper. Complex number computing was long before that. I know that FORTRAN (developed by IBM and released in 1957) could handle complex number calculations. FORTRAN was designed specifically for scientific and engineering calculations. Check out the Wikipedia article.

The first calculator is believed to have been invented in North Africa, however China invented the spoon and the compass.
