As the only example of "dynamical" in action seems to be the maths system I assume that it's only used IF it would be unclear otherwise that "dynamic" is used as an adjective. F.e.: "Dynamic Systems" -> "Dynamical Systems" would mean different things if you didn't know what Dynamical Systems are (like me) and could be misinterpreted without the ending making clear that it's used as an adjective. | ||

The same with typic, theoretic, and identic. Typic and and identic are obsolete (and I've never seen or heard them actually used until your post). Additionally, your heretic/heretical line is backwards, and heretic is a noun, not an adjective. The fact that I was a writing tutor in university certainly shows how much I don't know about English, Mr German. | ||

The fact that I was a writing tutor in university certainly shows how much I don't know about English, Mr German. The "-ic" and "-ical" suffixes are nearly always synonymous, as I mentioned on the last page, although one form usually dominates for a given word. "Heretic" is an adjective (listed in the OED as rare), as is "grammatic" for that matter. When I'm thinking about it, I usually use the shorter form (e.g. "grammatic" rather than "grammatical") but that's more an affectation of mine than anything else. | ||

Just because someone hasn't heard a word, or ever used it themselves, doesn't necessairly mean it is wrong. My advice as a translator would be to find papers similar to those read and written by your target audience and use that version of the word. Or, if your concern is with yourself as an individual author, use the word you feel is best, as both are correct. If you do use dynamical, just make sure you eat your candy bars with a fork. | ||

It's certainly a non-colloquial term with most usage being maths related. That's another thing - I never know whether to say math or maths. Foreign TA's I've had all said maths but American students and professors all say math. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamical_systems_theory "math" and "maths" are both abbreviations for "mathematics" so if you want to be totally correct you have to say "mathematics" | ||

I do computational quantum chromodynamics, and in our field it is "dynamical" in this context e.g. "three flavors of dynamical quarks". It's not a construction in common usage, but in physics usage (and presumably in computational chemistry, which likely shares a lot of terminology), "dynamical" is usually used to describe "having the property of motion/change". This is probably because "dynamics" is used as a noun, to mean "a description of something's motion/change" (i.e. "electrodynamics", meaning the sense in which electromagnetic fields change, in contrast to electrostatics), and "dynamical" is just the adjective form. It would be confusing if "dynamic" were the adjective but "dynamics" were a noun. So "dynamic" is deprecated in favor of "dynamical". Yes, it sounds awkward outside of a scientific context, but it's the construct in common usage in the sciences. Hope this helps. | ||

Mostly though the word used in English is dynamic, and it should be dynamic in the OP's example. | ||
