[See Mathematic.] Of or pertaining to mathematics; > according to mathematics; hence, theoretically precise; accurate; as, > mathematical geography; mathematical instruments; mathematical > exactness. --" The first part defines mathematics as "Of or pertaining to mathematics". Its like someone saying "Jymosobz is of or pertaining to Jymosobz", "According to Jymosobz". Would you know what Jymosobz is? Ok, Mathematical has something to do with precision and accuracy, but what is Mathematical? Or are you saying Mathematical is precision and accuracy?
