The History of Calculators

You know that little app you use on your phone to do your calculations? It has a fun, clunky history full of interesting inventions! The history of the calculator goes as far back as 300 CE with the Salamis Tablet. Today, we can graph in 3-D and solve even the most complex abstract algebraic equations!  To read the podcast's transcripts, please visit me at www.MathScienceHistory.com.
