differential analyzer in a sentence
Examples
- Previous to the development of the ENIAC, the U . S . Army had employed women trained in mathematics to calculate artillery trajectories, at first using mechanical desk calculators and later the differential analyzer developed by Vannevar Bush, at the Moore School.
- :I must remind you that this was in the days before IBM . I went to see Professor Douglas Hartree, who had built the first differential analyzers in England and had more experience in using these very specialized computers than anyone else.
- Palevsky worked on the DA-1 differential analyzer option, which connected to the G-15 and resulted in a machine similar to the MADDIDA, using the G-15 to re-wire the inputs to the analyzer instead of the custom drums and wiring of the earlier machine.
- The art of mechanical analog computing reached its zenith with the differential analyzer, built by H . L . Hazen and Vannevar Bush at MIT starting in 1927, which built on the mechanical integrators of James Thomson and the torque amplifiers invented by H . W . Nieman.
- Nordsieck built a differential analyzer ( a form of analog computer ) in 1950 at the University of Illinois from $ 700 worth of surplus electronic parts left over from World War II . Copies became the first computers at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Purdue University.
- The differential analyzer was based on the same principles as the pioneer machine developed by Vannevar Bush at MIT . It was installed in the first floor of the Institute for Theorethical Astrophysics at the University of Oslo, under leadership of Svein Rosseland who had visited MIT in 1933.
- Among the many machines discussed were the Harvard Mark I and Mark II, several IBM mechanical and electromechanical calculating machines, Bell Labs'relay based digital computers, ENIAC, EDVAC, the IAS machine, Whirlwind I and II, and EDSAC . The appendix covered a number of differential analyzer systems and examined their sources of errors.
- Herman Goldstine selected the programmers from women who had been calculating ballistics tables with desk calculators and a differential analyzer prior to and during the development of ENIAC . Under Herman and Adele Goldstine's direction, the programmers studied ENIAC's blueprints and physical structure to determine how to manipulate its switches and cables, rather than learning a programming language.
- At the Moore School, Eckert participated in research on radar timing, made improvements to the speed and precision of the Moore School's differential analyzer, and in 1941 assisted in teaching a summer course in electronics under the Engineering, Science, and Management War Training ( ESMWT ) offered through the Moore School by the United States Department of War.
- Herman Goldstine selected the programmers, then called " operators ", from the human " computers " who had been calculating ballistics tables with desk calculators and a differential analyzer prior to and during the development of ENIAC . Under Herman and Adele Goldstine's direction, the programmers studied ENIAC's blueprints and physical structure to determine how to manipulate its switches and cables, rather than learning a programming language.
