The abacus is a calculation aid. It is usually only used for addition and subtraction but experts can (with effort) perform multiplication, division, and even operations as difficult as square roots and cube roots.

It is not a calculator (it only provides storage one of the numbers, the user still is doing the calculation) or a computer (which must automate calculations).
