A North American adverbial construction meaning "in terms of mathematics" or "from a mathematical standpoint." It follows the productive "-wise" suffix pattern that English uses to generate quick adverbs of perspective — moneywise, weatherwise, careerwise. "Mathwise" turns up in classroom discussions, financial analysis, casual explanations, and anywhere someone wants to quickly signal they're about to look at something through a numerical lens. Functional, slightly informal, and perfectly clear.
Mathwise, the plan makes total sense — the margins are solid and the break-even point is realistic.
No comments yet — say something.
