No, it wasn't. The first calculator was called the pascaline.

The first mass-produced mechanical calculator was made by Charles Xavier Thomas, around 1920. The first mass-produced electronic calculator was probably the Sharp QT-8D, mass-produced in 1969.
Yes, abacuses (or is it abaci?) were used to calculate simple maths problems.
Pascal
gottrified leibnitz is the one who invent the leibnitz calculator.
all i know he is responsible for improving the adding machine, which i think was first made by Leibnitz called the Leibnitz calculator
in 1694,German scientist Leibnitz a developed a calculating machine.It was the first calculator that could multiply and divide also..
leibnitz's calculator is simply an improvised version of the adding machine. this machine could perform multiplication and division as well. ( multiplication through repeated addition and division through repeated subtraction). talking about the history of this machine it was invented by a German mathematician Gottfried Leibnitz. It used a stepped cylinder with nine teeth for varying lengths instead of wheels used by pascal. For a better idea refer to a picture of Leibnitz's calculator: http://images.Google.co.in/images?hl=en&q=leibnitz%27s+calculator&btnG=Search+Images&gbv=2&aq=f&oq= (please press ctrl and then click on the above link to view the picture.) tell me if the link does not work.
French Blaise Pascal invented the calculator. He did this to help his dad who was a tax adjuster. Then Gottfried Leibnitz improved on Pascal idea with a machine that would add, subtract, multiply, and divide.
