specific-question The question Solution to Volterra type integral equation of first kind is missing a top-level tag. What would be a good tag for that question? Perhaps ca.classical-analysis-and-odes?

specific-question Since the question Are there other nice math books close to the style of Tristan Needham? has recently been bumped, it might be reasonable to look at the tags. Would textbook-recommendation be a suitable choice there? (Unlike Mathematics, MO does not have (book-recommendation) tag - only the one called (textbook-recommendation).)

I've been very positively impressed by Tristan Needham's book "Visual Complex Analysis", a very original and atypical mathematics book which is more oriented to helping intuition and insight than to rigorous formalization. I'm wondering if anybody knows of other nice math books which share this p...

There might be more cases of this, but there are at least two pairs of tags which are exactly for the same thing - so perhaps creating a tag synonym would be a reasonable solution. One pair of tags is qft and quantum-field-theory. The other one is dg-algebras and differential-graded-algebras.
I see that the synonym between qft and quantum-field-theory now exists: mathoverflow.net/tags/quantum-field-theory/synonyms Previously discussed here: chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/10243/2018/10/30
And differential-graded-algebras is now a synonym of dg-algebras: mathoverflow.net/tags/dg-algebras/synonyms According to this mathoverflow.net/tags/synonyms the synonym was created by François G. Dorais on February 10.
I see that there are also some new synonyms which resolve the problem with oc.optimization-control and kt.k-theory-homology.
@FrançoisG.Dorais I see that you have made some synonyms related to the problem I mentioned here: chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/10243/2019/2/10
The one which remains missing is ca.analysis-and-odes - which was the old name for ca.classical-analysis-and-odes. The old name is linked both in Why are MO tags formatted as they are? and in Frequently asked questions about tagging on MathOverflow.
And since I asked about this tag, I will ask also what you think about analysis-and-odes Should it be a synonym, too? meta.mathoverflow.net/questions/194/help-improve-tagging/…

I suggest to create a tag synonym analysis-and-odes $\to$ ca.classical-analysis-and-odes. The tag analysis-and-odes has only five questions and empty tag info - so it does not seem to have any distinction from ca.classical-analysis-and-odes. Four of the five questions in this tag were asked by t...
In any case, thanks for creating the two synonyms of the old names and also for dg-algebras. (Possibly the corresponding answer to Help cleanup tags! could be updated, but maybe this can be done later, together with some other synonyms from that list.)
