Analytic may refer to a category of logical propositions, defined by logical positivists. Analytical propositions are based on a priori knowledge, self-evident and generally tautalogical; they are definitively true or false by definition. Their truth or falsehood is often, but not always, obvious. Analytic propositions also encompass mathematical reasoning.
The term analytic may also describe a particular type of function in mathematics.
