Marcovitz, Alan B., Ed. – 1978
A particularly difficult area for many engineering students is the approximate nature of the relation between models and physical systems. This is notably true when the models consist of differential equations. An approach applied to this problem has been to use analog computers to assist in portraying the output of a model as it is progressively…

Peer reviewedWeiner, E. Judith – Computers and the Humanities, 1987
Presents a model of the structure of logic considered necessary for computer processing of metaphorical language. Formally states and diagrams the algorithm for metaphors, isolating domain distance, predicate inequality, and hyperbole as particularly important factors. Distinguishes explanatory literal analogies from expressive metaphors,…

Mitchell, Eugene E., Ed. – 1978
In certain boundary layer or natural convection work, where a similarity transformation is valid, the equations can be reduced to a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. They are therefore well-suited to a fast solution on an analog/hybrid computer. This paper illustrates such usage of the analog/hybrid computer by a set of…
