Basic Analogue Computer Techniques
C.A. Stewart & R. Atkinson (1967)
The purpose of this book is to provide practical instruction in the basic principles of analogue computing by following a course of selected problems. The choice of such problems is based on experience, gained over several years, in teaching students of engineering and science in technical colleges and grammar school sixth form pupils.
Fascinating book about computers from the late 60's.
116 Pages on CDROM in Adobe PDF format.
