Computations

Computations (n.)

On Merriam Webster, meaning ‘the act or action of computing: calculations’,  I found this word in the passage “the tool, Wind Sand and Stars“, by Antoine de Saint-Exupery.

“All of man’s industrial efforts, all his computations and calculations…”

i Understand this word as computer related, so it would be doing calculations via computer or even using a calculator.

so this sentence becomes “…all his computations (computer calculations) and calculations…”
