Arvutustöös

Arvutustöös is an Estonian linguistic form meaning “in the calculation work” or “within the calculation tasks.” It is the inessive case form of the compound noun arvutustöö, which combines arvutus (calculation) and töö (work). The word is used to refer to work, assignments, or activities that involve computation, numerical methods, data processing, or computer-based calculations.

In educational and professional contexts, arvutustöö describes tasks or parts of a workflow that require performing calculations or running computations. This can include classroom problem sets focused on arithmetic, algebra, or statistics, as well as laboratory tasks in which students apply computational tools or programming to solve problems. The term may appear in phrases such as arvutustöös esitatud lahendused (the solutions presented in the calculation work) or arvutustöös kasutatavad meetodid (methods used in the calculation work).

Linguistic notes: arvutustöös is the inessive form, indicating location or activity “inside” or “within” the calculation work. Other related forms include arvutustöö (calculation work) and arvutus (calculation). While not a separate scientific field, arvutustöö is a common label in Estonian texts dealing with mathematics, computer science, data analysis, and related educational materials.
