Using long slit spectroscopy, we investigate the stellar population and reddening gradients inside the central regions of the nearby spiral galaxy M81. Observational data are analyzed using a new mathematical method. The basic elements to construct the synthetic spectra are taken from a database of star spectra. We show the ability of this method to define detailed stellar populations and to differentiate between age and metallicity effects.
