  2. Synthetic division - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic_division

    In algebra, synthetic division is a method for manually performing Euclidean division of polynomials, with less writing and fewer calculations than long division. It is mostly taught for division by linear monic polynomials (known as Ruffini's rule ), but the method can be generalized to division by any polynomial .

  3. Analytic–synthetic distinction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analytic–synthetic...

    The analytic–synthetic distinction is a semantic distinction used primarily in philosophy to distinguish between propositions (in particular, statements that are affirmative subject–predicate judgments) that are of two types: analytic propositions and synthetic propositions. Analytic propositions are true or not true solely by virtue of ...

  4. Synthetic biology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic_biology

    For example, while synthetic biology may lead to more efficient production of medical treatments, it may also lead to synthesis or modification of harmful pathogens (e.g., smallpox). [217] The biohacking community remains a source of special concern, as the distributed and diffuse nature of open-source biotechnology makes it difficult to track ...

  5. Chemical synthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_synthesis

    Organic synthesis is a special type of chemical synthesis dealing with the synthesis of organic compounds. For the total synthesis of a complex product, multiple procedures in sequence may be required to synthesize the product of interest, needing a lot of time. A purely synthetic chemical synthesis begins with basic lab compounds.

  6. Retrosynthetic analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retrosynthetic_analysis

    A fragment of a compound that assists in the formation of a synthesis, derived from that target molecule. A synthon and the corresponding commercially available synthetic equivalent are shown below: Target The desired final compound. Transform The reverse of a synthetic reaction; the formation of starting materials from a single product.

  7. Solid-state chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_chemistry

    Solid-state chemistry, also sometimes referred as materials chemistry, is the study of the synthesis, structure, and properties of solid phase materials.It therefore has a strong overlap with solid-state physics, mineralogy, crystallography, ceramics, metallurgy, thermodynamics, materials science and electronics with a focus on the synthesis of novel materials and their characterization.

  8. Enantioselective synthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enantioselective_synthesis

    Enantioselective synthesis, also called asymmetric synthesis, [1] is a form of chemical synthesis.It is defined by IUPAC as "a chemical reaction (or reaction sequence) in which one or more new elements of chirality are formed in a substrate molecule and which produces the stereoisomeric (enantiomeric or diastereomeric) products in unequal amounts."

  9. Morphological typology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morphological_typology

    Therefore, morphology in synthetic languages is more important than syntax. Most Indo-European languages are moderately synthetic. There are two subtypes of synthesis, according to whether morphemes are clearly differentiable or not. These subtypes are agglutinative and fusional (or inflectional or flectional in older terminology).
