Abstract
This paper discusses the employment of an electronic differential analyzer as a difference analyzer in order (1) to solve an explicit ordinary difference equation and (2) to solve approximately an ordinary differential equation by methods analogous to standard numerical integration techniques. A simple example of each use is described. Applicable computer solution procedures are outlined with circuit diagrams included, and illustrative results are presented. Because of storage requirements, the number of integrators required is twice the order of the given equation.Keywords
