mathematically

Through numerical reasoning

Mathematically describes something done through or in accordance with mathematics: mathematically proven, mathematically impossible.

It often emphasizes precision or logical rigor: Mathematically, the numbers don't add up.

The word can suggest cold calculation over intuition or emotion: Mathematically speaking, it was the right decision, but it felt wrong.
