1 to calculate something using mathematics or a calculator (= a device for doing mathematical processes)
2 to calculate something:
3 used to say that something does not having any meaning, or does not seem possible or correct:
They showed how to compute the performance measures in the three systems.
It computes the symbolic size of each vector expression.
Then, standard methods to compute the volume of polytopes are applied to get a symbolic cost in polynomial form.
For this reason we chose to compute numerically the normal trajectories using the following procedure.
Section 4 describes a methodology to compute preferred trajectories using answer set planning.
For each community, the relative frequency of each category was computed, using the total number of child utterances for that community as the base figure.
It is a routine exercise to check that each partial recursive function is computed by such a machine.
Another distribution of residence times, that corresponding to those particles initially in the bubble a t cycle zero, is easily computed from the former distribution.
