>> [_] Anon 2363255 General instruction: You want to multiply a number, e.g. 374 by 12. You set the numbers 3, 7 and 4 with the small vertically-moving red knobs. Then you rotate the moving part (on top of "CURTA"-text) counterclockwise once to set the multiplication to 10. Then you crank the handle once to multiply 374*10. Then you rotate the moving part (on top of "CURTA"-text) clockwise once to set the multiplication back to 1. Then you crank the handle twice to multiply 374*2 and add it to previous multiplication. Now you read your result, which should be 4488.

>> [_] Anon 2363312 >># You do it with the fundamental theory of calculus. >># You take a pen, a piece of paper and draw an x,y diagram. then you calculate the function value for each point on the x-axis and mark the result on your diagram. Finally, you connect the dots.
