Notas de uso
- For arithmetic or school math, calcolo is common: fare i calcoli, calcolo mentale. Matematica is broader and names the subject.
- For planning or strategy, use fare un calcolo or per calcolo; it can imply cold self-interest, not just neutral estimating.
- In medicine, un calcolo usually means a stone, often kidney or gallstone. Context matters because the same word also means calculation.
