Analog Computer Prototyping for the Future
Master's thesis from Malmö University (2022) documenting the design and construction of a low-cost modular single-board analog computer capable of solving second-order differential equations. The project follows design science research methodology (DSRM) and evaluates two hardware revisions (V1 and V2) through demonstration problems including Mathieu's differential equation and a spring-mass damping system. The paper argues that accessible analog and hybrid analog-digital systems are a viable path toward more energy-efficient future computing.
