mathematics \math`emat"ics\, n. f. math'ematiques, pl., l.
   mathematica, sing., gr. ? sc. ? science. see mathematic,
   and -ics.
   that science, or class of sciences, which treats of the exact
   relations existing between quantities or magnitudes, and of
   the methods by which, in accordance with these relations,
   quantities sought are deducible from other quantities known
   or supposed; the science of spatial and quantitative
   relations.

   note: mathematics embraces three departments, namely: 1.
         arithmetic. 2. geometry, including trigonometry
         and conic sections. 3. analysis, in which letters
         are used, including algebra, analytical geometry,
         and calculus. each of these divisions is divided into
         pure or abstract, which considers magnitude or quantity
         abstractly, without relation to matter; and mixed or
         applied, which treats of magnitude as subsisting in
         material bodies, and is consequently interwoven with
         physical considerations.

analysis \anal"ysis\, n.; pl. analyses. gr. ?, fr. ? to
   unloose, to dissolve, to resolve into its elements; ? up + ?
   to loose. see loose.
   1. a resolution of anything, whether an object of the senses
      or of the intellect, into its constituent or original
      elements; an examination of the component parts of a
      subject, each separately, as the words which compose a
      sentence, the tones of a tune, or the simple propositions
      which enter into an argument. it is opposed to
      synthesis.
      1913 webster

   2. chem. the separation of a compound substance, by
      chemical processes, into its constituents, with a view to
      ascertain either a what elements it contains, or b how
      much of each element is present. the former is called
      qualitative, and the latter quantitative analysis.
      1913 webster

   3. logic the tracing of things to their source, and the
      resolving of knowledge into its original principles.
      1913 webster

   4. math. the resolving of problems by reducing the
      conditions that are in them to equations.
      1913 webster

   5.
      a a syllabus, or table of the principal heads of a
          discourse, disposed in their natural order.
      b a brief, methodical illustration of the principles of
          a science. in this sense it is nearly synonymous with
          synopsis.
          1913 webster

   6. nat. hist. the process of ascertaining the name of a
      species, or its place in a system of classification, by
      means of an analytical table or key.
