Abstract :
The basic elements comprising an electronic differential analyzer are described. Fundamental concepts employed in the application of electronic differential analyzers to engineering problems are discussed, and an effective method of studying complicated dynamic systems is demonstrated. Data are presented on the types of problems which such machines are known to be capable of solving and on the extent to which they are being used in research, development and industrial organizations.
