In contemporary Czech, numerický terms appear whenever quantities, computations, models, or data are described in numerical terms, as opposed to qualitative descriptions.

Common contexts: Numerickou is frequently seen with nouns like hodnota (value), metoda (method), analýza (analysis), or simulace (simulation). It serves to distinguish numeric quantities and computational approaches from qualitative or symbolic descriptions. For example, one might refer to numerickou hodnotu čísla, numerickou metodou řešené rovnice, or numerickou analýzu dat.
