Teaching the uses of digital computers at the technical university of Denmark

A method for teaching electrical engineering students the use of digital computers in solving electric machinery problems, especially with regard to iterative methods, is explained. By emphasizing the process of stating actual problems and formulating them in flow diagrams, more general principles are brought to light. The method is illustrated with an example of a power transformer winding design. The use of the international computer language ALGOL, is demonstrated and discussed.
