miscomputes
Gets math wrong
Miscomputes means to calculate incorrectly.
The word applies to mathematical errors, whether made by humans or machines: The software miscomputes interest when accounts have negative balances.
A miscompute can cascade through subsequent calculations, compounding the original error.
