So, it's just like [上]?
計算から言えばこれで正しい is a correct sentence?
(contributor: Jordi)

Yes, it is. You can also say like
計算上(で)は、これで正しい。hmm it's just like 上.
(contributor: Miki)

is that 上 a or ? I guess from the example it is uede, which i thought
was more 'upon' than 'based on' - ie implying a careful thought and
conclusion. whereas 'based on' is more like a conclusion is obvious, based
on the information... is there that same difference in japanese or are
they the same? (contributor: your name)

計算上(jou)(で)は、or 計算の上(ue)では (contributor: Miki)

Please see .
I don't think からいうと implys a careful thought and conclusion.
(contributor: Miki)

計算から言えばこれで正しい is somewhat awkward -
計算からするとこれで正しい is preferable. (contributor:
