(archaic, calculus) calculus / (mathematics, mathematical analysis) a systematic employment of infinitesimals that reduces calculus to algebra; nonstandard analysis.

(linguistics) The process of relating syntactic structures, from the levels of phrases, clauses, sentences and paragraphs to the level of the writing as a whole, to their language-independent meanings, removing features specific to particular linguistic and cultural contexts, to the extent that such a project is possible.

(linguistics) Any valid analysis of a word's morphology regardless of whether it represents its etymology in the strict sense of that word (that is, the historical origin); for example, the word biology has a surface analysis of bio- + -logy although it was not coined as the combination of those combining forms (in fact predating them). The word can validly be viewed as an example of words ending in the suffix -ology even though it was not coined as one (whereas many analogous but newer words were thus coined, such as immunology).

(surface science, materials science) The analysis of a physical surface (uncountable) or any instance of such analysis (countable). / (meteorology) See surface weather analysis.

(mathematical analysis, geometry, topology) A branch of mathematics in which techniques from differential geometry are used in the analysis and solution of partial differential equations, and vice versa.

(computing) A part of computerised stock control that identifies the minimum stock needed to avoid shortage / The analysis of a medical study in order to allocate costs

(idiomatic) All things considered; when all is said and done; in conclusion, basically and fundamentally.
