Idea

Constructive analysis is the incarnation of analysis in constructive mathematics. Also known as computable analysis (see there for more).

In applications in computer science one uses for instance the completion monad for exact computations with real numbers (as opposed to floating point arithmetic. Therefore one also sometimes speaks of exact analysis. See also at computable real number.
