Analysis and  synthesis

     The terms analysis and synthesis come from (classical) Greek and meanliterally "to loosen up" and "to put together"respectively. In general, analysis is defined as the procedure by which webreak down an intellectual or substantial whole into parts or components.Synthesis is defined as the opposite procedure: to combine separate elements orcomponents in order to form a coherent whole. However, analysis and synthesis,as scientific methods, always go hand in hand; they complement one another.Every synthesis is built upon the results of a preceding analysis, and everyanalysis requires a subsequent synthesis in order to verify and correct itsresults
