This group collects the Mathematics subcategory's members whose defining work concerns mathematical analysis: calculus, limits, continuity and the rigorous foundations built under them, from the founders of calculus to the analysts who made it logically rigorous. It is kept apart from Applied Mathematics, whose members apply analytical tools to physical problems, and from Logic And Foundations, whose members work on the foundations of mathematics as a whole rather than analysis specifically.
