The "math calculation" duo is rare, and the Ngram shows it was non-existent for a long time, but there are instances (many of them in books talking about either word processors or measuring learning aptitude, so it may be jargon). I did find this in a book (and have no problem with it): Modern calculators can do many calculations quickly. A complicated math calculation no longer is a big problem. | |
