arithmetics

Basic number work

Arithmetics is the plural of arithmetic, referring to different systems or branches of basic mathematical calculation.

While arithmetic as a mass noun rarely takes a plural, arithmetics appears in technical contexts distinguishing types: modular arithmetics, finite field arithmetics.

The word sometimes appears as a slightly formal or old-fashioned singular synonym for arithmetic itself.
