Calculation
Implementation of rules to transform a mathematical quantity.
- Calculating probabilities Process of counting used in probability theory.
- Literal calculation Calculation on literal expressions – algebraic expressions, propositions, vectors – according to certain rules and algorithms that are unique to these expressions.
- Numerical calculation Calculation on real numbers according to certain rules and algorithms that are unique to each class of real numbers.
Examples
- If Ω = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}, then P(even) = [latex]\frac{1}{2}[/latex].
- [latex]4{x}^{2}{y}^{2}[/latex] + [latex]3x{y}^{2}[/latex] – [latex]{x}^{2}{y}^{2}[/latex] + [latex]5x{y}^{2}[/latex] = [latex]3{x}^{2}{y}^{2}[/latex] + [latex]8x{y}^{2}[/latex]
- 7 + 3(12 – 5) – 2(6 + 2) + 3 × 5 = 7 + 21 – 16 + 15 = 27
