Analogue Computer (Part 1)
A multi-part constructional article from Practical Electronics magazine (September 1978, Vol. 14 No. 13) describing how to build a general-purpose analogue computer. Part 1 covers the mathematical operations achievable with op-amp circuits — summation, integration, and coefficient multiplication — and explains how these building blocks are interconnected to simulate physical systems. Practical circuit diagrams and example applications (velocity, distance, oscillatory motion) are included alongside theory.
