Computing | Reduction (Or "contraction") The process of transforming an expression according to certain reduction rules. The most important forms are beta reduction (application of a lambda abstraction to one or more argument expressions) and delta reduction (application of a mathematical function to the required number of arguments). An evaluation strategy (or reduction strategy), determines which part of an expression (which redex) to reduce first. There are many such strategies. See graph reduction, string reduction, normal order reduction, applicative order reduction, parallel reduction, alpha conversion, beta conversion, delta conversion, eta conversion. (1995-02-21).

In chemistry, a redox reaction is a chemical reaction which consists of an oxidation reaction and a reduction reaction. That is one species gains electrons -- it is reduced -- at the cost of the other, which is oxidized. In a redox reaction the oxidation numbers of the two species are changing.A good example is the reaction between hydrogen and fluorine:
We can write this overall reaction as two half-reactions: an oxidation reaction:
- H2 + F2 → 2HF
and a reduction reaction:
- H2 → 2H+ + 2e-
Elements always have an oxidation number of zero. In the first half reaction hydrogen is oxidized from an oxidation number of zero to an oxidation number of +1. In the second half reaction fluorine is reduced from an oxidation number of zero to an oxidation number of -1
- F2 + 2e- → 2F-
When adding the reactions together the electrons cancel and the ions combine to form hydrogen fluoride:
As another example, consider the oxidation of iron(II) to iron(III):
- 2H+ +2F- → 2HF
and the reduction of hydrogen peroxide:
- Fe2+ --> Fe3+ + e
The two processes occur together in the following redox reaction:
- H2O2 + 2 e --> 2 OH-
See also: electrochemistry
- 2Fe2+ + H2O2 + 2H+ --> 2Fe3+ + 2H2O

Reduction or reducing has several meanings:
This is a Wikipedia disambiguation page. If you followed a link here, you might want to go back and fix it.
- In mathematics, reduction is the process of manipulating a series of equations or matrices into a desired 'simpler' format.
- In cooking, reduction is the process of thickening a liquid mixture such as a sauce by evaporation.
- In chemistry, reduction is the reverse of oxidation, i.e. the formal oxidation state of an atom (independent or within a molecule) is reduced by the addition of electrons. A reduced gas is thus hydrogen-rich.
- In philosophy, reduction is the process of explaining one phenomenon in terms of another.
- In linguistics, reduction is to shorten the pronunciation of a word. e.g. wanna, lemme, gimme.
- In physiology, reduction or reducing is another name for weight loss or dieting.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Reduction is a difficult piece of philosophical terminology. The basic notion is this: If we reduce X to Y, then whenever we talk about X, we can be understood to be talking about Y instead.So, for example, if we reduce the mental to the physical, then whenever we talk of pains, thoughts, and decisions, we can be understood as talking about physical events in the brain. Does that mean that we must then think that pains, thoughts, and decisions do not exist as such? Not necessarily, and usually not.
Here is an example of a reduction from metaphysics. The Bundle theory says that objects can be reduced to collections of properties; so whenever we talk about objects, we can be understood to be talking about bundles of properties. Does this mean that the bundle theory says that objects do not exist? Perhaps not objects as we had thought of them, but the theory is trying to give an account of what objects are; namely, they are bundles of properties. So the bundle theory is not denying that objects exist--just that objects are the same as bundles of properties. The only reason one would have for maintaining, then, that the bundle theory holds that objects do not exist is if you think that, according to our ordinary concepts, something simply cannot both be a bundle of properties and an object.
Philosophers mean about the same thing when they talk about what exists ultimately. For example, the bundle theory says that ultimately, properties and bundles thereof exist, rather than objects. The things that exist "ultimately" are precisely the things to which other things are reduced.
