2.The same in number; hence, identically the same; identical; as, the same numerical body. (Obs.) "Would to God that all my fellow brethren, which with me bemoan the loss of their books,... might rejoice for the recovery thereof, though not the same numerical volumes."
3.Relating to or having ability to think in or work with numbers; as, tests for rating numerical aptitude. Contrasted with verbal.
