Analogue Computing: A Look at New Applications for an Old Technology

Analogue computing was first started in the early 20th century, when scientists and engineers began experimenting with using electrical circuits to perform mathematical calculations. Early analogue computers were often built using mechanical components, such as gears and levers, to perform calculations. However, some specific areas such as aerospace and industrial control systems, and scientific research still find the use of analogue computers to be more suitable and efficient.
