Analog Computer Techniques
A 1956 textbook by Capt. Clarence L. Johnson (USAF, U.S. Air Force Institute of Technology) covering the theory and practical use of electronic analog computers (differential analyzers). Topics range from linear computing components, amplitude and time scaling, and synthesis of servomechanism systems, through nonlinear and function-generating techniques, repetitive analog operation, and a concluding introduction to digital differential analyzers. The book was developed from computer courses taught to undergraduate and graduate students at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and is pitched at readers with knowledge of Ohm's law, Kirchhoff's laws, and basic differential equations.
