Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Computation"

A: calculation simply means numbers manipulation in general.
example : 1 + 2

==============================
computation means more complicated calculation(or a series of calculations) in general.
example:
A = find (earth's diameter)
Ameter = convert_Kilometer_Meter(A)
Bmeter = Ameter / 2

Earth's radius = Bmeter

------------------------------
find(earth's diameter) = earth's circumference / 3.14
------------------------------
convert_Kilometer_Meter(A) = A X 1000

A: "Computation" emphasizes the process and "calculation" emphasizes the goal.

A:

They are usually interchangeable.

Calculation" is more often associated with arithmetic processes, whereas "computation" is often associated with algorithmic processes.

A: I believe there is some confusion with these terms today because they are currently evolving from their traditional meanings to more modern meanings.

First of all "computation" and "computational" are more mathematical terms than "compute" and "computing" and are typically related to making a calculation with numbers, not necessarily by using a computer, but perhaps simply with just a calculator.

~~~~~~

"Computation" is a noun, and "computational" is the related adjective. Examples:

"The results of the computation made no sense at all. There must have been some errors in the computational method that was used."

~~~~~~

"Compute" is a verb that usually means to perform a computation, especially using a computer. But it can also mean to come to a conclusion by thinking about some problem that is not necessarily mathematical. Examples:

"If you could just come up with some method to compute the trajectory of the rocket using pencil and paper, then I could write a software program to do the same thing."

"I don't understand how he can like such horrible music. It just doesn't compute!"

~~~~~~

"Computing" is a noun that nowadays mostly means to use computers. Example:

"You should study computing - perhaps computer science, or computer engineering, or business programming."

I hope this helped you to understand these terms. Please feel free to ask questions and I will do my best to answer! :)

A: That' already in english

A: 'All the computation that you need to resolve this problem could be borrowed' sounds more natural :)

A: He won first by a wide margin.
