1
[ adjective ] (mathematics) using or subjected to a methodology using algebra and calculus

Examples

"analytic statics"

Used in print

(R. P. Jerrard, "Inscribed squares in plane curves"...)

Consider a simple , closed , plane curve C which is a real analytic image of the unit circle , and which is given by **f .

These are real analytic periodic functions with period T .

We note that two such curves C and **f , cannot coincide at more_than a finite number of points ; otherwise , being analytic , they would coincide at all points , which is impossible since they do not coincide near **f .

We know that in the C-plane both C and **f are analytic .

Near Q , both curves can be represented by analytic functions of u .

(H. A. Gleason, "Review of African language studies...)

Papers like these four , if widely read , will contribute importantly to improvement of our analytic work .

These things have been disseminated by other means , but always in the wake of extensive publication of analytic results .

However , any such suggestion accounts_for only some of the difficulties in hearing tone , or in developing a realistic attitude about tone , but not for the analytic difficulties that occur even when tone is meticulously recorded .
