nonmathematical
Without numbers involved
Nonmathematical describes something that doesn't involve or require mathematics: a nonmathematical approach to economics, nonmathematical readers.
The word often appears when distinguishing technical from accessible treatments of a subject, or when someone wants to signal that numbers and equations won't be involved.
