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.

How can u calculate an integral or derivative with this?
Looks complex enough to be able to do it.

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.
