It's not possible to answer this question the way you've asked it.
"How does the presence of a transistor in a circuit affect calculations?" may be what you mean.
"How do propagation delays in transistor components affect the speed of calculations?" is another possibility.
Please ask the question so that we can answer it.
Transistors can be either in an "on" state, allowing current to flow, or in an "off" state, blocking current. This binary operation enables them to represent the fundamental bits of data—0s and 1s—essential for digital computing. By combining millions or billions of transistors, CPUs can perform complex calculations and execute instructions efficiently. Thus, transistors serve as the building blocks for digital circuits and logical operations within the CPU.
An integrated circuit contains multiple diodes and transistors on silicon. A processor performs the calculations in a computer.
Point-contact transistors are largely obsolete due to their limited performance and reliability compared to modern bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) and field-effect transistors (FETs). They are more susceptible to thermal instability and noise, which can affect their operation in electronic circuits. Additionally, advancements in semiconductor technology have led to the development of more efficient and compact devices that offer better performance, making point-contact transistors less viable for contemporary applications.
Power transistors are transistors that are used in high-power amplifiers and power supplies.
Depending on how the transistor is biased and various other circuits connected to it, a transistor acts as an amplifier and/or switch. When acting as an amplifier the circuit containing the transistor can do things like transmit or receive radio signals, perform analog mathematical calculations, generate waveforms, etc. When acting as a switch the circuit containing the transistor can do things like turn on/off a light, turn on/off a motor, perform digital logic or mathematical operations, fetch and decode computer instructions, etc. Exactly what a transistor can do is really only limited by the system requirements and the designer's imagination as to how to meet those requirements. There are several different types of transistors: bipolar junction transistors (BJTs), field effect transistors (FETs), unijunction transistors (UJTs), programmable unijunction transistors (PUJTs), spacitors, surface barrier transistors (SBTs), tetrode transistors (TTs), point contact transistors (PCTs), etc.

Transistors are made out of semiconductors, yes.
Bernoulli's equation assumes that the fluid is incompressible, non-viscous, and flows along a streamline. These assumptions can affect the accuracy of fluid flow calculations because real-world fluids may not always meet these ideal conditions, leading to potential errors in the calculations.

The primary reason that NPN transistors are used more often than PNP transistors is that they usually operate faster (at higher frequencies) because the mobility of the current carriers in NPN transistors (electrons) is much higher than that of the current carriers in PNP transistors (holes).
