numerical

1. (relational) Of or pertaining to numbers.Examples: "They propose that the brain manages numerical systems with circuitry that is equipped for action related to "more than-less than", "faster-slower", "nearer-farther", "bigger-smaller", computations of "any kind of stuff in the external world". This neural activity allows us to successfully reach, grasp, throw or point. Bueti and Walsh argue further that, "it is on these abilities that discrete numerical abilities hitched an evolutionary ride," given the primitive need to make these kinds of judgments of space and time. Number then, as a measure, is not primary — what comes first is our need to move accurately."; "Harry Kane broke the deadlock from the spot eight minutes after half-time, the captain's superb pass releasing Jude Bellingham, who was fouled by Liam Scales, earning the defender a second yellow card and a dismissal. England capitalised on the numerical advantage ruthlessly, Anthony Gordon scoring his first England goal two minutes later, pouncing at the far post after the Republic defence failed to clear debutant Tino Livramento's cross."Synonyms: numericrelational

2. (obsolete) The same in number; hence, identically the same; identical.Examples: "But would to God that all my fellow-brethren, which with me bemoan the loss of their books, with me might rejoice for the recovery thereof, though not the same numerical volumes!"; "For who ever was yet seen by them, after a total consumption into dust and ashes, to rise again, and to resume the same numerical body?"Synonyms: numericobsolete
