(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
An analysis is a critical evaluation, usually made by breaking a subject (either material or intellectual) down into its constituent parts, then describing the parts and their relationship to the whole.As such, it can be applied in many different fields of study:

- analysis (philosophy)
- In mathematics:
- mathematical analysis
- real analysis - real numbers
- complex analysis - holomorphic functions
- functional analysis - study of spaces of functions
- non-standard analysis - hyperreal numbers

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Analysis is that branch of mathematics which deals with the real numbers and complex numbers and their functions. It has its beginnings in the rigorous formulation of calculus and studies concepts such as continuity, integration and differentiability in general settings.
History
Historically, analysis originated in the 17th century, with the invention of calculus by Newton and Leibniz. In the 17th and 18th centuries, analysis topics such as the calculus of variations, differential and partial differential equations, Fourier analysis and generating functions were developed mostly in applied work. Calculus techniques were applied successfully to approximate discrete problems by continuous ones.
All through the 18th century the definition of the concept function was a subject of debate among mathematicians. In the 19th century, Cauchy was the first to put calculus on a firm logical foundation by introducing the concept of Cauchy sequence. He also started the formal theory of complex analysis. Poisson, Liouville, Fourier and others studied partial differential equations and harmonic analysis.
In the middle of the century Riemann introduced his theory of integration. The last third of the 19th century saw the arithmetization of analysis by Weierstrass, who thought that geometric reasoning was inherently misleading, and introduced the ε-δ definition of limit. Then, mathematicians started worrying that they were assuming the existence of a continuum of real numbers without proof. Dedekind then constructed the real numbers by Dedekind cuts. Around that time, the attempts to refine the theorems of Riemann integration led to the study of the "size" of the discontinuity sets of real functions.
Also, "monsters" (nowhere continuous functions, continuous but nowhere differentiable functions, space-filling curves) began to be created. In this context, Jordan developed his theory of measure, Cantor developed what is now called naïve set theory, and Baire proved the Baire category theorem. In the early 20th century, calculus was formalized using set theory. Lebesgue solved the problem of measure, and Hilbert introduced Hilbert space to solve integral equations. The idea of normed vector space was in the air, and in the 1920s Banach created functional analysis.
Subdivisions
Analysis is nowadays divided into the following subfields:
- Real analysis, the formally rigorous study of derivatives and integrals of real-valued functions. This includes the study of limits, power series and measures.
- Functional analysis studies spaces of functions and introduces concepts such as Banach spaces and Hilbert spaces.
- Harmonic analysis deals with Fourier series and their abstractions.
- Complex analysis, the study of functions from the complex plane to the complex plane which are complex differentiable.
- Non-standard analysis investigates the hyperreal numbers and their functions and gives a rigorous treatment of infinitesimals and infinitely large numbers.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Analysis, in philosophy, is an account of the meaning or content of a word, phrase, or concept. In practice, analyses are not easily distinguishable from definitions. It is held by many contemporary philosophers that analyses, per se, are not possible; other terms used for the same sort of item are explication and account.See also analytic philosophy; paradox of analysis.
