Possible definitions for anadyr

Agadir
Seaport (pop., 1994 est.: 155,000), SW Morocco. It was occupied in the 16th cent. by the Portuguese, but later became an independent Moroccan port. After the 1911 Moroccan Crisis when a German gunboat appeared offshore to protect perceived German interests, it was occupied by French troops in 1913. Modern growth began with the port's construction in 1914, and the development of the fishing industry. Destroyed in 1960 by earthquakes, tidal wave, and fire, it was rebuilt south of its original location. In addition to its port functions, it is a market place for the surrounding agricultural area.


analysis
In chemistry, the determination of the properties and composition of samples of materials; qualitative analysis establishes what is there, and quantitative analysis measures how much. A large body of systematic procedures (analytical chemistry) has evolved in close association with other branches of the physical sciences since their beginnings. A sample of a single compound may be analyzed to establish its elemental composition (see element, molecular weight) or molecular structure; many measurements use spectroscopy and spectrophotometry. A mixed sample is usually analyzed by separating, detecting, and identifying its components by methods that depend on differences in their properties (e.g., volatility, mobility in an electric or gravitational field, distribution between liquids that do not mix). The many types of chromatography are increasingly useful, particularly with biological and biochemical samples.

Field of mathematics that incorporates the methods of algebra and calculus--specifically of limits, continuity, and infinite series--to analyze classes of functions and equations having general properties (e.g., differentiability). Analysis builds on the work of G. W. Leibniz and I. Newton by exploring the applications of the derivative and the integral. Several distinct but related subfields have developed, incl. the calculus of variations, differential equations, Fourier analysis (see Fourier transform), complex analysis, vector and tensor analysis, real analysis, and functional analysis. See also numerical analysis.
