analytic
An analytic person or approach examines details carefully to understand something.
Using or showing careful analysis, especially by breaking a problem or idea into parts and considering evidence logically.
Connected with studying data to find patterns or make decisions.
Relating to the use of data, statistics, or software to examine information and support decisions.
Describes a mathematical answer found as a formula, not just by calculating approximate numbers.
In mathematics and the sciences, obtained by formal mathematical analysis or formulas rather than by numerical approximation or simulation.
Describes a statement that is true because of what the words mean.
In logic and philosophy, describing a statement whose truth follows from the meanings of its words or concepts, not from facts about the world.
Describes a function that locally matches a well-behaved infinite polynomial series.
In mathematics, describing a function that can be represented near each point of its domain by a convergent power series.
Describes a language that uses word order and small grammar words more than word endings.
In linguistics, describing a language or construction that relies mainly on word order and separate function words rather than inflectional endings to show grammatical relationships.
Connected with psychoanalysis, a type of therapy focused on unconscious feelings and memories.
Relating to psychoanalysis or to therapy and theories that interpret unconscious thoughts, feelings, and memories.

analytic continuation
1extension of analytic functions
A way to extend an analytic function to a larger area without changing it on the original area.
- The gamma function gives an analytic continuation of the factorial function.
- Analytic continuation allows mathematicians to study a function outside the region where its original series converges.
- The proof depends on the uniqueness of analytic continuation.
- Analytic continuation extends a function.
- The class studied analytic continuation in complex analysis.
analytic geometry
1geometry with coordinates and algebra
A part of geometry that uses number lines and coordinates, together with algebra, to describe lines, curves, and shapes.
- Analytic geometry lets us describe a circle with a simple equation.
- The course combines analytic geometry with basic calculus.
analytic geometry
1geometry using coordinates
A kind of geometry that uses algebra and coordinates such as x and y.
- We used analytic geometry to find the intersection of the two lines.
- Descartes helped develop analytic geometry by linking algebra with geometry.
- The course begins with vectors and basic analytic geometry.
- Analytic geometry uses x and y coordinates.
- I studied analytic geometry in high school.
analytic hierarchy process
1structured decision-ranking method
A formal method for choosing between options by comparing them two at a time.
- The team used the analytic hierarchy process to choose the best site for the new facility.
- In the analytic hierarchy process, decision makers compare each criterion with every other criterion.
- The consultant recommended an analytic hierarchy process when the committee could not agree on priorities.
- They used the analytic hierarchy process to rank the options.
- AHP compares choices in pairs.
analytic number theory
1analysis applied to numbers
A branch of mathematics that uses analysis to study whole numbers and prime numbers.
- The prime number theorem is a central result in analytic number theory.
- Her dissertation combines algebraic geometry with analytic number theory.
- Analytic number theory often studies functions that encode information about primes.
- He works in analytic number theory.
- Analytic number theory studies prime numbers.
analytic philosophy
1clarity-focused philosophical tradition
A kind of philosophy that values clear arguments and careful analysis of ideas and language.
- Her research is in analytic philosophy, especially philosophy of mind.
- Analytic philosophy often values short, precise arguments over broad literary style.
- The department has strengths in both analytic philosophy and continental philosophy.
- He studies analytic philosophy.
- Analytic philosophy focuses on clear arguments.
analytic psychology
1Jungian school of psychology
Jung's form of depth psychology, which studies dreams, symbols, and the unconscious.
- Analytic psychology places special importance on dreams and symbolic images.
- She trained at an institute of analytic psychology.
- The article compares Freud's psychoanalysis with Jung's analytic psychology.
- Analytic psychology is connected with Carl Jung.
- She is interested in analytic psychology and dreams.
analytic rubric
1criterion-by-criterion scoring guide
A grading chart that gives separate scores for different parts of the work.
- The teacher used an analytic rubric with categories for content, organization, grammar, and style.
- An analytic rubric can help students see exactly where they lost points.
- The writing assessment was scored with an analytic rubric rather than a single overall grade.
- The teacher gave us an analytic rubric.
- The rubric has separate scores for grammar and content.
