Combined analogue and digital computing techniques for the solution of differential equations

Published:07 February 1956Publication History

ABSTRACT

One of the difficulties in the use of an analogue computer for the solution of ordinary differential equations involving variable coefficients is its relative inability to perform certain multiplications rapidly and accurately. In instances where variables must be multiplied by a function of another variable, this difficulty is particularly apparent. This paper describes how a digitally stored table of functions may be used with an analogue computer to solve this general class of ordinary differential equations.
