  • Abstract
    This whirlwind survey of analog computation pays tribute to the MA702, MA709, LM1 LM101A, MA741 and subsequent contributions of Robert J. Widlar,"the father" of analog integrated ciruits and explores his influence on collaborators and succesors including Paul Brokaw, Dave Fullagar, George Erdi, Hans Camenzind, Bill Hewlett, Dave Packard, and Barrie Gilbert. By Thomas H. Lee.
