Analog Technologies: The Basics

Before we get into the fancy stuff, we need to understand the basic techniques used in analog computers.

Analog Computer Basics: The fundamental concepts of all analog computers.
Setting the Gain Coefficient: In math, independent input variables are commonly multiplied by constant values in the equation. Here's how we accomplish this in analog computers.
Analog Addition: An analog computer wouldn't be much good if it couldn't perform simple addition.
Adding a Fixed Constant: Another typical element in mathematical equations is the addition of some fixed constant.
