解释:

(n.) 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.

(n.) 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.

(n.) The tracing of things to their source, and the resolving of knowledge into its original principles.

(n.) The resolving of problems by reducing the conditions that are in them to equations.

(n.) A syllabus, or table of the principal heads of a discourse, disposed in their natural order.

(n.) A brief, methodical illustration of the principles of a science. In this sense it is nearly synonymous with synopsis.

(n.) 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.

解释:

n. a resolving or separating a thing into its elements or component parts—the tracing of things to their source and so discovering the general principles underlying individual phenomena. Its converse is synthesis the explanation of certain phenomena by means of principles which are for this purpose assumed as established. Analysis as the resolution of our experience into its original elements is an artificial separation; while synthesis is an artificial reconstruction: (gram.) the arrangement into its logical and grammatical elements of a sentence or part of a sentence:—pl. Anal′yses.—adj. Analys′able.—n. Analysā′tion.—v.t. An′alyse to resolve a whole into its elements: to separate into component parts.—n. An′alyst one skilled in analysis esp. chemical analysis.—adjs. Analyt′ic -al pertaining to analysis: resolving into first principles.—adv. Analyt′ically.—n.pl. Analyt′ics the name given by Aristotle to his treatises on logic.—Analytical geometry geometry treated by means of ordinary algebra with a reference direct or indirect to a system of co-ordinates; Analytic method (logic) proceeds regressively or inductively to the recognition of general principles as opposed to the Synthetic method which advances from principles to particulars.
