order of a calculation scale of the problem Explanation: That's one term we would often use for a physical 'problem' — "it was only once the flood-waters had subsided that they could see the true scale of the problem" I'm rather less sure, however, if it will sit well when applied to a more abstract 'mathematical problem'? It probably could work alright, but it does rather depend on exactly how it is to be used in a sentence? -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 39 minutes (2016-12-21 12:31:11 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "In order to reduce the magnitude / scale of the task involved in analysing the dynamics of soil temperature, it makes sense to group together TCs at sites with similar physical/geographic and permafrost conditions." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 40 minutes (2016-12-21 12:32:18 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "...analysing soil temperature dynamics..." |
