The meaning of expressions can change with time. As in "begs the question." Misuse of an expression can change its meaning. For me it is "begging the question" (in the new sense) whether I am using the term "analytic" solution in my test results correctly. I have checked a couple dictionaries of mathematics with no luck. I know "analytic" does have another meaning, but I am not sure if I am using it wrong. Also I am really speaking of a numerical evaluation of that analytic solution. (Or should I be saying "closed form" solution?) I have been working on all this practically by myself, on and off, for over thirty years, with no one to ask questions of, or talk to. I am not intending to misuse "analytic".
