Also known as computation, calculating, computing, calculate, compute
A calculation is a deliberate mathematical process that transforms a plurality of inputs into a singular or plurality of outputs, known also as a result or results. The term is used in a variety of senses, from the very definite arithmetical calculation of using an algorithm, to the vague heuristics of calculating a strategy in a competition, or calculating the chance of a successful relationship between two people.
A calculation is a mathematical process that takes multiple pieces of information as inputs and produces one or more results or outputs. The term can refer to precise arithmetic operations using algorithms, or to more informal estimates and decisions, like figuring out a strategy or assessing the likelihood of something succeeding.

計算（けいさん）とは、与えられた情報をもとに、命題に従って演繹することである。計算に使用される手続きはアルゴリズムと呼ばれる。計算を行う装置や機械は、計算機という。対人関係において、戦略をアルゴリズムとして状況を有利に運ぶことも時に「計算」と表現される。
