Abstract
This paper provides a tutorial on the circuits and technology of analog computers and the methods of simulation. It describes how to employ summers and integrators to simulate linear dynamics problems and how to use other simple circuits to investigate a wide variety of nonlinear systems. The operation of stepping-relay systems, servo-multipliers, and quarter-square multipliers is explained.
