The Persian abacus, also known as the "soroban" in Japan or "dust abacus," is a traditional counting tool used in Persia (modern-day Iran) and other regions. It typically consists of a rectangular frame with rods or wires on which beads are strung, allowing for the representation and manipulation of numbers. Users can perform arithmetic operations by moving the beads to represent different values, facilitating calculations before the widespread use of modern calculators. The Persian abacus exemplifies the rich history of mathematical tools in ancient cultures.
