Mathematical analysis

Analysis is the generic name given to any branch of mathematics which depends upon the concepts of limits and convergence, and studies closely related topics such as continuity, integration, differentiability and transcendental functions. These topics are often studied in the context of real numbers, complex numbers, and their functions. However, they can also be defined and studied in any space of mathematical objects that is equipped with a definition of "nearness" (a topological space) or "distance" (a metric space). Mathematical analysis has its beginnings in the rigorous formulation of calculus.
