What Is Computation?

Pre 1920

  • A good way to not get confused with Computation is to remember that before the 1920's, computers were human clerks that performed computations.

Post 1920

  • After the 1920's, the expression "computing machine" reffered to any machine that performed the work of a human computer (calculations)
  • During 1950, the name "computing machine" gave way to the expression "computer"

The act or process of calculating or determining something by mathematical, logical or interactive methods.

For quiet some time been relying solely on my "mathematical, logical or interactive methods" at college and at the beginning it helped me a lot. Though when the code became more complex I began struggling with it. Finally, the gap between my skills and professor's expectations widened to the extent I couldn't understand anything at all, so I became obsessed with finding somebody at https://assignmentcore.com/programming-homework-help/ to get programming homework help. Few weeks later I started catching up and hopefully my progress got improved.

These standards fall into seven classifications: calculation, correspondence, coordination, memory, computerization, assessment and configuration Every classification is a point of view on figuring, a window into the information space of registering. The classifications are not fundamentally unrelated.
