matematyczna

Matematyczna is the feminine singular form of the Polish adjective matematyczny, meaning relating to mathematics or mathematical. It is used to describe feminine nouns and agrees with them in gender, number, and case. The term appears in phrases such as nauka matematyczna (the mathematical science), geometria matematyczna (mathematical geometry), and teoria matematyczna (mathematical theory).

In Polish, adjectives are declined to reflect gender, number, and case. The base form for masculine nouns is matematyczny, the feminine form is matematyczna, and the neuter form is matematyczne. In plural, the masculine personal form is matematyczni, while non-masculine personal and neuter plural is matematyczne. For example: To zjawisko matematyczne (This is a mathematical phenomenon); te teorie są matematyczne (these theories are mathematical).

Etymology and usage notes: matematyczna derives from matematyka (mathematics) and the adjective suffix -czny, used to form a category adjective meaning “pertaining to.” As a common descriptor in science, education, and philosophy, matematyczna helps specify that a statement, theory, object, or field has a mathematical nature. Its usage follows standard Polish grammar, attaching to the corresponding noun with proper gender and number agreement.
