numerics

Symbols for quantities

Numerics refers to numbers or numerical data, often in contrast to letters or other characters.

In computing and data entry, a field might accept only numerics, meaning digits 0-9.

The term also appears in technical contexts to describe the numerical aspects of a system or analysis: The numerics on this report don't add up.
