Beräkningsmässig

Beräkningsmässig is a Swedish adjective that translates to "computational" or "calculational" in English. It refers to something related to or achieved through computation or calculation. This can encompass a wide range of activities and processes where numbers or data are manipulated systematically to arrive at a result.

In the context of science and engineering, beräkningsmässig often describes methods or approaches that rely heavily on computers and algorithms. For instance, "beräkningsmässig fysik" (computational physics) uses numerical simulations to study physical phenomena, while "beräkningsmässig kemi" (computational chemistry) employs computer-based methods to solve chemical problems. This term highlights the reliance on systematic calculation and analysis, often involving complex mathematical models.

The concept of beräkningsmässig can also extend to simpler forms of calculation or estimation. For example, one might speak of a "beräkningsmässig uppskattning" (calculational estimate) for the cost of a project. Essentially, anything that involves deriving a value or conclusion through a step-by-step process of working with numbers or data falls under the umbrella of beräkningsmässig. The core idea is the methodical process of arriving at a result through quantitative means.
