This article is about the activity involving computing machinery. For the magazines, see Computing (magazine) and Compute!

Computer simulation
Computer simulation, one of the main cross-computing methodologies

Computing is any goal-oriented activity requiring, benefiting from, or creating computing machinery.[1] It includes the study and experimentation of algorithmic processes, and the development of both hardware and software. Computing has scientific, engineering, mathematical, technological, and social aspects. Major computing disciplines include computer engineering, computer science, cybersecurity, data science, information systems, information technology, and software engineering.[2]

The term computing is also synonymous with counting and calculating. In earlier times, it was used in reference to the action performed by mechanical computing machines, and before that, to human computers.[3]
