Preface
The children themselves are boundless wonder of the world. Exploration of childre n’s world of wonder has been the subject of thinkin g of all scholars from primitive age to the present age of information and technology. These outcomes of thinking of the scholars have been the basis of children education, and have been place d in Educat ion polic y of 2010. In the light of adapting Education policy of 2010 and to help the children for their normal and gradual development, aims and objectives of primary education have been re-fixed and pl ace d in c ur ricu lum d ocu me nt . Th e te rm inal c omp et enci es fo r pr ima ry education, subject wise terminal competencies and class wise competencies for all the subjects in the form of essential learning continua have been developed in the light of re-fixed aims and objective s, giving proper importance and emphasis on the total development of the childr en. Against this back-drop, all the steps of the curriculum development have been reflected in the developed textbooks. This book is the English version of the Bangla textbook prepar ed for the students of Class Five. The book has been writt en on the basis of the revised curriculum to be effective from 2013.Throughout the early years of life, children notice and explore mathematical dimensions of their world. They compare quant ities, find pattern s, navigate in space, and grappl e with real problems. Mathematics helps children making sense of their world-outside of school and helps them to construct a solid foundation for success in school. The revised curric ulum takes note of it, and the textbook ensure s that the children get adequate mathematical understanding and skills. Special attention has been given to make the contents of the book, as far as possible, plain and lucid to our tender aged learners. The salient feature of the new book is that it is learner-cente red and activity-bas ed. To make the book attractive to the young lear ners, it is print ed in four colour s and varie ties of pictures are included in it. The book encourages that the students will learn through games. Despite careful efforts of all concerned, some errors might have remained in the book. Such errors, if any, will be removed in the next edition. Finally, I would like to expres s my hear tfel t thanks and gratitu de to thos e who have pro vi de d th eir v al uab le c on tr ibu ti on s in w ri ti ng , ed iti ng , ev al uat in g an d translating this book. I sincerely hope that the book will be useful to those for whom it has been prepared. Professor ro Md. M Mostafa s o Kamaluddin K m l d in

Division by 10 or 100 To divide by 10 or by 100 by the easy method, we put a comma before one digit, or two digits, from the right of the dividend, respectively. The number to the left of the comma is the quotient; the number to the right of the comma is the remainder.
Example 6. Divide 2465 by 10.
There is one zero (0) to the right
Solution :

2 4 6 5 246
of 1 in the divisor. Putting a comma
2 0
before one digit from the right of the
46
dividend we get 246, 5. The number 246 to
40 65
the left of the comma is the quotient; the
60
number 5 to the right of the comma

Elementary Mathematics Unitary Method
In day-to-day life we need to do calculations. As an example, let us find the price of 4 pencils, given that the price of 10 pencils is 60 taka. First we divide the price of 10 pencils by 10, and thus find the price of 1 pencil. Then we multiply the price of 1 pencil by 4, which gives us the price of 4 pencils, This process of solving problems is called the unitary method. The quantity to be determined has to be placed towards the end of every working line; see the following examples.
Example 4. The price of 9 books is 216 taka, what is the price of 12 books ? Price of 9 books is 216 taka Solution :

For 40 students the food will last 20 days for 1 student the food will last
20 40 days = 800 days for 50 students the food will last 800 50 days = 16 days
We observe : For consuming a given amount of food, the less the number of consumers the more the number of days; the more the number of consumers the less the number of days. So, in the second step we have multiplied by 20 and in the third step we have divided by 50

Use of Brackets We use brackets to form one mathematical statement from two mathematical statements.
Apurba's father gave him 50 taka to purchase writing pads and pencils. Apurba bought a writing pad for 16 taka and two pencils for 12 taka. After buying writing pad and pencils Apurba was left with 22 taka.

Observing the two methematical statements we find that brackets ( ) have been used to combine the two numbers to be subtracted from 50; the numbers inside the brackets have been added; finally their sum has been subtracted from 50. We observe that 50
(16 + 12) = 50 28 = 22 and 50 16 12 = 34 12 = 22 Thus 50 (16 + 12) = 50 16 12. In other words, if there is a minus sign before a bracket, then the signs of the numbers inside the brackets must be changed upon removal of the brackets. In a mathematical statement, work involving muliplication and division has to be carried out before addition or subtraction. If there are brackets, then calculations inside the brackets has to be carried out first. For example : 15 42 (11 + 3) = 15 42 14 = 15 3 = 12 Let us remember the Rules of Simplification :
Calculations are to be done from left to right. First we do work involving division, muliplication then we do work involving addition and subtraction. If there are brackets, calculations inside the brackets has to be carried out first. First we do work on first brackets ( ), then we do work on second brackets { }; finally we do work on third brackets [ ]. 17

In the first row of the picture above, there are 7 mangoes in the first tray, 9 mangoes in the second tray, 11 mangoes in the third tray, 9 mangoes in the fourth tray. The mangoes in these four trays are put together in one large tray (middle row of the picture); so there are in all 7 + 9 + 11 + 9 = 36 mangoes in the large tray. Dividing by 4, which is the number of trays in the first row, we get 9. If each of the srcinal have four trays contained 9 mangoes, total of mangoes would been had the same, because 9 + 9 + 9then + 9 also = 36the (see lastnumber row of the picture). in the four trays We express this fact by saying that the average number of mangoes in the four trays is 9.

Chapter Five G.C.D. and L.C.M. G.C.D. stands for Greatest Common Divisor. It is the largest number which divides each of two (or more) given numbers. Let us find the G.C.D. of 24 and 36.
First Method We write down all factors (divisors) of the two numbers.
Write down the factors of 24
Write down the factors of 36
All factors of 24 are : 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 6 , 8 , 12 , 24 All factors of 36 are : 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 6 , 9 , 12 , 18 , 36 Now we identify the common factors of these numbers. They are : 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 6 , 12 Among these numbers 12 is the largest. So the G.C.D. of 24 and 36 is 12.
Second Method
We write down all factors (divisors) of the first number. We then determine which of these factors divide the other number. The largest of these common factors is the desired G.C.D.
Write down the factors of 24. These are 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 6 , 8 , 12 , 24. 12 is the largest factor of 24 which divides 36.
All factors of 24 are : 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 6 , 8 , 12 , 24 Factors of 24 which divide 36 are : 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 6 , 12 Among the common factors of 24 and 36, 12 is the largest. So the G.C.D of 24 and 36 is 12.
Elementary Mathematics Third Method We find all prime factors (with repetitions, if any) of the two numbers.
Find the prime factors of 24 and 36. The product of their common prime factors (with repetitions, if any) is the G.C.D.
All prime factors of 24 are : 2, 2, 2, 3 because 24

Find out the prime factors of 18, 24, 30. They are : 2, 2, 2, 3; 2, 2, 3, 3; 2, 3, 5 The common prime factors are 2 and 3. Their product is 6. The common prime factors of the numbers 18, 24, 36 are 2 and 3. Their product, 6, is the G.C.D. of the three numbers 18, 24, 36. The largest number among the common factors (divisors) of two or more numbers is their G.C.D. G.C.D. of two or more numbers is the product of their common prime factors. Two or more numbers have G.C.D. 1 if they have no common prime factor. Another term for divisor is factor.

Least Common Multiple (L.C.M.) L.C.M. stands for Least Common Multiple. It is the smallest number which is divisible by two or more given numbers.
Let us find the L.C.M. of 24 and 36. First Method We write down the multiples of the numbers.
Write down the multiples of 24.
Write down the multiples of 36.
Multiples of 24 are : 24 , 48 , 72 , 96 , 120 , 144 , 168 , 192 , 216 , 240, etc. Multiples of 36 are : 36 , 72 , 108 , 144 , 180 , 216 , 252 , 288, etc. Among the common multiples of the two numbers, 72 is the smallest. So the L.C.M. of 24 and 36 is 72. Second Method
We write down the multiples of the first number. We determine which of these multiples is divisible by the other number. Write down the multiples of 24. These are 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144, 168, ... .The first of these numbers which is divisible by 36 is 72. So the L.C.M. of 24 and 36 is 72.
Multiples of 24 are : 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144, 168, 192, 216, 240, etc. Divisible by 36 are : 72, 144, 216. Among the common multiples of the two numbers, 72 is the smallest. So the L.C.M. of 24 and 36 is 72.

3 = 72.
In the same manner we can find the L.C.M. of three or more numbers. As an exmple, we find the L.C.M. of 18, 24 and 27, by the first method. We write down the multiples of 18, 24 and 27 : Multiples of 18 are : 18
216
36
54
72 90 108
126
144
162 180

Multiples of 24 are : 24 48 72 96 Multiples of 27 are : 27 54 81 108
120 135
144 168 192 162 189
216
216
240, etc.
243,etc.
In all three rows of multiples of the three given numbers, the number 216 appears. So 216 is a common multiple of 18, 24 and 27. None of the rows has a number smaller than 216 which appears in all three rows. So 216 is the least common multiple (L.C.M.) of the numbers 18, 24 and 27.

Among the prime factors of the three numbers, 2 appears most often 3 times (in 24); 3 appears most often 2 times (in 18). In addition, 5 appears once (in 30). So the L.C.M of 18, 24, 30 is 2 2 2 3 3 5 4

360 The L.C.M. of the three numbers is 360. Determination of L.C.M. by Short Method In this method we determine all prime factors of the given numbers in succession. The product of all these prime factors is the L.C.M. of the given numbers.

The prime number 2 has divided 24 thrice; the last quotient being 3 which is a prime number. So 24 2 2 2 3. 2 has divided 18 once; the quotient being 9. The prime number 3 has divided 9 twice. So 18 2 3 3. 2 has divided 40 thrice; the last quotient being 5. which is a prime number. So 40 2 2 2 5. So the L.C.M of 18, 24 and 40 is 2 2 2 33 5 360.
The short method of finding L.C.M. is a consolidated form of finding L.C.M. by finding all prime factors of the given numbers. In this method, at every step we choose as divisor some prime number which divides at least two of the numbers appearing in that step. The quotients of the divisible numbers are written down in the next step; any number not divisible by the chosen prime number is carried unchanged to the next step. The last step in this method is reached when the numbers appearing in some step have no common prime factor (that is, no common factor except 1).

Simple Problems Involving G.C.D. and L.C.M. Example 8. Dividing 138, 215, 457 by which largest number leaves respectively the remainder 3,5,7 ?
Example 9. Four bells having tolled together, began tolling after every 6, 9, 12 and 15 minutes. After what minimum time will the bells toll together again ?

Example 12. The length of a rectangular room is 7.20 metre and breadth is 4.40
metre. What is the size of largest marble tiles of square shape which can be used to pave the floor of the room so that no tile needs to be broken ? Solution : Length of the room 7.20 metre = 72 decimetre
Breadth of the room 4.40 metre = 44 decimetre The square shape of the tiles and the condition that no tile can be broken, imply that the length ( = breadth) of the tiles must a be common divisor of the length and breadth of the room. So the length of any one side of the square tiles is the G.C.D. of 72 and 44 decimetre. 72
2 2233 8 9 2 2 11 44 4 11 So, G.C.D. of 72 and 44 is 2 4 decimetre

Raju and Mina are playing with marbles. Mina has seven more marbles than Raju. In all they have 45 marbles. How many marbles does each of them have ?
Suppose Raju has marbles numbering
x
; then Mina has ( x + 7) marbles.
Together Raju and Mina have x + ( x + 7 ) marbles. According to the question,
x
+ ( x + 7) = 45.
x
+ ( x + 7) = (x + x) + 7 = 2 x + 7.
or 2x + 7 = 45, because
Here, 2x + 7 = 45 is an example of an open statement, An open statement is a mathematical statement containing some special symbol indicating some unknown quantity. A mathematical statement is a statement containing numbers, symbols, expressions or mathematical concept, about which it can be said without ambiguity whether it is true or false. For example : 48

Open Statement On her birthday, out of 30 chocolates Sumi gave 2 chocolates to each of her friends; 6 chocolates remained.
Here, the number of Sumi's friends is not known. Suppose the number of friends is x. Every one got 2 chocolates. So friends numbering x got x 2 chocolates. Since out of 30 chocolates 6 remained, we have the relation x 2 6 30 Here, x 2 6 30 is an open statement. An open statement is a mathematical statement which contains a literal symobl indicating an unknown number or quantity. For example : (x 5) 3 45. Example 1.

25
Solution : 32 25 Here the dividend is 32 and divisor is 2 5. Shifting the decimal
point in the divisor one place to the right we get 25; this amounts to multiplying by 10. Multiplying the dividend by 10 we get 320. So,

We observe : The decimal point in the divisor has been shifted to the right as far as is necessary to make the divisor an integer. To the right of the dividend as many zeros have been placed as the number of places the decimal point in the divisor was shifted. The desired quotient is the quotient upon division of the changed dividend by the changed divisor. Example 12. The price of 3 5 kg of potatoes is 63 taka . What is the price of 1 kg of potatoes ? Solution : The price of 1 kg of potatoes is 63

Chapter Nine
Percentage The square region to the right has been divided into 100 small square regions, as shown. 15 of these small square regions to the upper left corner have been coloured. So the coloured 15 (rectangular) region is portion of the whole 100 (square) region. We express this by saying that the coloured region is 15% of the whole region. The denominator of the above fraction is 100; 15 % is read as ' fifteen per cent ' meaning fifteen per hundred. 15 . So 15% = 100 Subject

Measurement Measurement of Length
The basic unit for measurement of length is : Metre. Every bounded object or region has a definite linear measure; this measure is called the length of the object or region. For convenience various multiples and submultiples of metre are used as secondary units : 1 kilometre (km)
= 1000 metre (m)
1 hectometre (hm)
= 100 metre (m)
1 decametre (dm)
= 10 metre (m)
1 metre (m)
= 1metre (m)
1 decimetre (dcm)
=
1 centimetre (cm) 1 millimetre (mm)
1 m or 0.1 m 10 1 = 100 m or 0.01 m =
1 m or 0.001 m 1000
On the increasing side, beginning with 1 metre, these units are such that each unit is10 times the preceding unit. On the decreasing side, 1 beginning with 1 metre they are such that each unit is one-tenth (10 ) of the preceding unit. 10

On the increasing side these are decagram (dg), hectogram (hg), kilogram (kg); on the decreasing side these
are (dcg), centigram (cg), milligram (mg) are : Twodecigram widely used unis for measuring larger weights 100 kilogram (kg) = 1 quintal 10 quintal or 1000 kilogram = 1 metric ton Example 1. Express 8 Kilogram 35 gram 79 centigram 6 millgram in milligram. Solution : 8 kilogram = 8 1000 gram = 8000 gram = 8000 1000 mg = 8000000 mg 35 gram = 35 1000 mg = 35000 mg 79 centigram = 79 10 mg = 790 mg 6 milligram = 6 mg Sum = 8035796 mg there are 8035796 milligram in 8 kilogram 35 gram 79 centigram 6 milligram. Example 2. Express 58 kilogram 357 gram 629 milligram in kilogram. Solution : 58 kg
= 58 kg 357 gram = 357 0.001 kg = 0.357 kg 629 milligram = 629 0.001 gram = 0.629 gram = 0.629 0.001kg = 0.000629 kg Sum = 58.357629 kg
there are 58.357629 k ilogram in 58 kilogram 357 gram 629 milligram. Example 3. How many qunitals are there in 9876000 grams ? How many metric tons ? Solution : 9876000 grams = 9876000 1000

Each of the above coloured figures is a region. The space enclosed by a triangle is a triangular region. The space enclosed by a quadrilateral is a quadrangular region. The space enclosed by a rectangle is a rectangular region. The space enclosed by a square is a square region.
Each of these regions, being bounded, has a definite measurement as to how much space it covers. That measurement is the area of the region.
A definite unit is needed for measurement of area. The area of the region enclosed b y a square, each of whose sides has length 1 unit, is a natural choice for measurement of area. Such units are referred to as 'square units'. Thus, 1 square metre is the area of a square region each of whose sides has length 1 metre (this square is referred to as the '1 metre square') 99

Metric Units for Measurement of Land 1 square metre = 100 1 square decametre = 100 1 square hectometre = 100 1 hectare
square decimetre = 10,000 square centimetre square metre = 1 are [pronounced: a-or] square decametre = 10,000 square metre
= 10,000 square metre
= 1 square hectometre
Area of a Square Region The figure to the left is a square: each of its sides has length 1cm 3 cm. What is the area of the region enclosed by it ?
Beginning from one corner, say thelower left corner, we mark 1cm points on each of the two sides meeting at that corner, whose distances
from that corner are 1 cm, 2 cm. From these points we draw lines parallel 1cm to the other side meeting at the corner. These lines divide the square 1cm
1cm 1cm
region into 3 3 = 9 square regions: each of these 9 square regions has area 1 square centimetre, because each side of each ofthese square regions has length 1 cm. 3 3 is written as 32 : so the area of the given square region is 32 = (length)2 square units. 2
Area of a Square Region = (length) square units.

ABCD is a rectangular region; its length is 4 cm and breadth is 3 cm. Beginning from one corner, say the lower left corner, we mark points on each of the two sides meeting at that corner whose distances from that corner are 1 cm, 2 cm and so on. From these points we draw lines parallel to the other side meeting at that corner. These lines divide the rectangular region into 4 3 = 12 square regions; each of these square regions has area 1 square cm, as explained above. 100
Elementary Mathematics
Therefore, area of the rectangular region ABCD = Sum of the areas of 12 square regions, each having area 1 sq cm = 12 sq cm = (4
3) sq cm = 4 cm
3 cm = length
breadth
We observe : The area of the rectangular region is obtained by multiplying the measeure of its length by the measure of its breadth.
Area of a rectangular region = (length
breadth) square units
Example 1. The length of a rectangular region is 60 cm and its breadth is 45 cm. What is its area ? Solution :
Area of a rectangular r egion = (length Area = 60 cm
bread th) square units
45 cm = (60 45) square cm = 2700 square cm
Required area is 2700 square cm.
Example 2. What is the area of a rectangular region of length 7 cm and breadth 3 cm 5 mm? Solution :
Length = 7 cm = 7
10 mm = 70 mm
breadth = 3 cm 5 mm = 35 mm Area of the rectangular region = (length br ead th) = 70 mm 35 mm = 2450 squar e mm = 24 50 squar e cm
[100 square mm = 1 square cm]
In f ind ing area, if the length and bread th are ex pr essed in differ ent units, then they must fir st be expressed i n the same unit. 101

Area of a Triangular Region The triangle ABC enclosing the region can be any one of three types : right angled ; acute angled ; obtuse angled. Suppose ABC is a right angle. Draw the line through A parallel to the side BC, and the line through C parallel to the side BA. Suppose these lines A D intersect at D. Then ABCD is a rectangle, because it is a parallelogram and ABC is a right angle. Therefore ADC too is a right angled triangle, whose sides AD and DC are respectively B C equal to the sides BC and AB of the triangle ABC. The side AC is common to both triangles. So the triangles ABC and ADC are identical except for position; so they have the same area. Therefore the area of the triangular region ABC is half of the area of the rectangular region ABCD. 1 The latter area is AB BC. So area of the triangular region ABC is = 2 (AB BC) AB is called the height and BC is called the base of the triangle ABC. So, the area 1 of a right angled triangular region = 2 (base height) square units. Suppose the triangle ABC is acute angled; that means, each of the three angles is less than one right angle. Through A draw the line parallel to the side BC. Through B and C draw the lines perpendicular to the side BC;BE suppose that theseperpendicular lines intersecttothe BC at E and F respectively.The lines and CF, being BC,line are parallel parallel.toDraw through A the line AD perpendicular to BC.

ACB is an obtuse angle. As before, the lines BE and CF are drawn
perpendicular to BC; they meet the line drawn through A and parallel to BC at E and F respectively. But now E and F lie on the same side of the point A ; the perpendicular from A to the side BC now meets the extended side BC at D. Each of the figures AEBD and AFCD is a rectangle, and each of the triangles ABD and ACD is right angled. So, area of the triangular region ABC =

Arrangements of Data Unarranged Data and Arranged Data Unarranged Data : Data which have not been arranged according to some given or chosen characteristic or criterion, are called unarranged data. Arranged Data : Data which have been arranged according to some given or chosen characteristic or criterion, are called arranged data.

These data are not arranged according to any characteristic; these are unarranged data. To get an overall picture of the performance of the students, it is convenient to group together students who got marks in a certain range; such ranges are called classes and the difference between the highest and lowest marks in a class is called the class difference. The number of students whose marks fall into a particular class is called the frequency of that class. Here the highest and lowest marks obtained are 98 and 41. Their difference
98
41
57.
So a convenient choice for class difference would be 10. The classes are 40 - 49, 50 - 59, . . . , 90 - 99. These classes are called class intervals. The resulting frequency table is shown below :

Elementary Mathematics Having written down the classes, we have to determine the frequency of each class. The first number is 59; it belongs to the class 50 - 59; so we put a tally mark in the next column against that class. The next number is 72; it belongs to the class 70 - 79; so we put a tally mark against that class. In this way all the marks are counted by means of tally marks. When we get five tally marks in any one class, as in the class 70 - 79, the fifth tally mark is entered not vertically as the four preceding tally marks, but diagonally across them; this makes the counting of total tally marks in a class transparent and easy.
Example 1. The daily wage (in taka) of 20 workers are given below :

So a convenient choice for class difference is 20. Beginning with 240, the class intervals are 240 - 259. 260 - 279, . . . , 340 - 359. The resulting frequency table is as follows : Classes of wages

Geometry Quadrilateral
D
A quadrilateral is a figure bounded by four line segments. The adjoining figure ABCD is a quadrilateral. The line segments AB, BC, CD, DA, are its four sides; the points A, B, C, D are its four corner points or vertices. The line segments AC and BD are its two diagonals.

Classification of Quadrilateral Parallelogram
A parallelogram is a quadrilateral whose both pairs of opposite sides are parallel. The quadrilateral ABCD in the adjoining figure is a parallelogram. Using a scale we measure the perpendicular distances of the sides at several points on AB and DC. We find that they are all equal, confirming that the sides AB and DC are parallel. Similarly, we find that AD and BC are parallel. Measuring the sides we find that the lengths of any two opposite sides A are equal : AB = DC and AD = BC. Measuring the angles

D
ABand BCD, as well as A BCand CDA, are two pairs of opposite angles of the parallelogram. So, every pair of opposite angles are equal. Now let us draw the two diagonals of the parallelogram; they have intersected each other at M. Measuring, we find that the line segments AM and MC, as well as BM and MD, have equal lengths. So the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other at their point of intersection. The opposite sides of a parallelogram are parallel and equal. The opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal. The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.
Elementary Mathematics Square
A square is a rectangle whose sides are all
D
C
equal. In other words, a square is a parallelogram whose sides are all equal and whose angles are all right angles. As the opposite sides of a rectangle are equal, a rectangle having any two of its adjacent sides equal, is a square. Put differently, a parallelogram of which two adjacent sides are equal and one angle is a right angle, is a square. The adjoining figure ABCD is a square. Since every square is a rectangle , its diagonals have
A
B
equal lengths. Measuring the four angles made at their point of intersection, we find each of them is a right angle. A rectangle having two equal adjacent sides is a square. A parallelogram having two equal adjacent sides and one of whose angles is a right angle, is a square. The diagonals of a square are equal and they bisect each other at right angles.
Do yourself : 1. Draw a quadrilateral. Measure the length of its four sides and two diagonals. Measure the four angles of the quadrilateral and find the sum of their measures. 2. Draw visually two quadrilaterals, no two of whose sides are equal. (a) In each case measure the four sides and the two diagonals and enter your results in your notebook. (b) In each case measure the four angles and enter your results in your notebook. Find the sum of the four angles, and state whether you get the same sum in both cases.

Calculator and Computer Calculator A calculator is a hand-held electronic device which can carry out calculations following appropricate commands by the person using it. It runs on electricity producted by battery inside it; no outside electirc connection is needed. If electricity runs out, new battery has to be installed. Calculators vary a great deal in their build-up, shape, size and scope. Some calculators have 26 buttons, others have as many as 42 or 47 buttons. To start a calculator one presses the (ON/AC) button; to shut it one presses the (OFF) button.
The adjoining picture is that of a calculator. It has 26 buttons. It can be started and shut off by pressing the (ON) button.
Calculators are widely used in shops and businesses. Calculators play an important role in carrying out extensive calculations needed to solve mathematical problems of all kinds. Only through actual use can one truly appreciate the applicability and usefulness of calculators.
Elementary Mathematics
Computer To computer is to calculate. A computer is an electronic device; it can cerry out calculation on a much larger scale than a calculator. But the function and usefulness of a computer is not limited to calculations. Besides carrying out complicated calculations, it can be used to generate graphs, pictures, correspondence, to receive and send e-mail, for browsing websites, accessing internet and so on. Thanks to the computer, keeping in touch with friends and relations all over the world is now an easy matter. Computers have drastrically changed the life of mankind.
Abacus, a calculating device used in the late Middle Age, was a precursor of a calculator. In the seventeenth century Pascal, as well as Leibniz, had built mechanical calculators. In the nineteenth century, Charles Babbage, professor at the University of Cambridge in England, built an 'Analytical Engine ' which is considered as a precursor of modern computers.
The working process of a computer is straight-forward. A computer has four main components Input, Memory, Processor and Output. The computer works in combination of these four components. The input device is needed to enter numbers and data; keyboard and mouse are input devices. 135
Elementary Mathematics
The intended directives are given by pressing the keyboard or klicking the mouse.
Input
Output
Memory
Processor
The directives are stored in the memory of the computer. Next the processor processes the data and directives stored in memory and sends the result to memory. Memory in turn sends it to output devices such as monitor or picture. Those of you who have used computers would know that a keyboard or mouse is an input device. Data is fed into the computer through them. At the end of the work the computer shows the result in the monitor. The monitor is an output device. The memory and processor of a computer are not visible from outside; they are inside the computer. So far we have talked about what is called hardware, or the mechanical parts of a computer. But the computer cannot function on hardware alone. Appropriate commands are needed to make it function. Such directives constitute the software. What task the computer processor will perform, how it will perform, what directives will be needed, all such information is stored in the memory. Briefly speaking, computer hardware is driven by the software. For different kinds of work different kinds of software are needed. A software which can draw graphs connot be used for calculation. There are various software or computer programs for carrying out calculations, like Calculator, Excel, Calc, ect . You can use the program Calculator or Calc instead of your ordinary calculator.
