Analog Computing
This book is a comprehensive introduction to analog computing. As most textbooks about this powerful computing paradigm date back to the 1960s and 1970s, it fills a void and forges a bridge from the early days of analog computing to future applications. The idea of analog computing is not new. In fact, this computing paradigm is nearly forgotten, although it offers a path to both high-speed and low-power computing, which are in even more demand now than they were back in the heyday of electronic analog computers.

This book gives an introduction to analog computer programming. The first chapters contain a short historic overview and describe the typical computing elements of an analog computer. The following sections detail the programming process including time and variable scaling. The main part of the book contains a collection of useful computer setups that can be used as "subroutines" in own programs, followed by a plethora of examples ranging from simple ones such as a harmonic oscillator to complex problems like the simulation of airflow over an airfoil. The appendix contains a short introduction in Mikusinski's operational calculus as well as two useful circuits (an oscilloscope multiplexer and a logarithm function generator).

As classic digital computers are about to reach their physical and architectural boundaries, interest in unconventional approaches to computing, such as quantum and analog computers, is rapidly increasing. For a wide variety of practical applications, analog computers can outperform classic digital computers in terms of both raw computational speed and energy efficiency. This makes them ideally suited a co-processors to digital computers, thus forming hybrid computers. This second edition of "Analog and Hybrid Computer Programming" provides a thorough introduction to the programming of analog and hybrid computers. It contains a wealth of practical examples, ranging from simple problems such as radioactive decay, harmonic oscillators, and chemical reaction kinetics to advanced topics which include the simulation of neurons, chaotic systems such as a double-pendulum simulation and many more. In addition to these examples, it contains a chapter on special functions which can be used as "subroutines" in an analog computer setup.
