numerisches

Numerisch is a German adjective meaning related to numbers or numeric. It is used to describe data, methods, models, and systems that involve numbers or numerical computation. The form numerisches is the neuter singular ending, as in ein numerisches System or das numerische System, and appears in common phrases without a definite article as well.

In mathematics and computer science, numerik (numerical analysis) is a field that studies algorithms for approximating the solutions of mathematical problems. The focus is on accuracy, efficiency, and the control of errors that arise in computation. Key topics include numerical linear algebra, numerical integration and differentiation, solving equations, and numerical optimization. Practical concerns such as floating-point arithmetic, rounding errors, stability, and convergence are central to the discipline and to the implementation of numerical methods in software.

Common compounds and uses reflect its numeric orientation. Numerische Daten refer to numeric data, numerical simulations describe computational experiments, and numerische Verfahren are methods that produce approximate numeric results. The term appears widely in engineering, physics, data science, and applied mathematics, where problems are often modeled and solved using numerical techniques rather than exact symbolic methods.
