Hines' Atoms, Nature, and Man – “Analog computers have been used experimentally for theoretical projections of results.”) In other words, don't let the coming digital healthcare world intimidate or panic you.

Dr. Urbatsch will be demonstrating LANL's museum-quality replica of this analog computer. Enrico Fermi and L.D.P. King created the FERMIAC in 1947 to study the paths of neutrons using the Monte Carlo method. More information about History on Tap and other Historical Society programs and events can ...

It was, in reality, an analogue computer, thousands of years before they were invented again. David Wolfe will discuss the details of the discovery and the research into this device.

Known as “Old Brass Brains” (or more formally, Tide-Predicting Machine No. 2), it served the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey in the calculation of tide tables beginning in 1912 and was not retired until ...

... and a few proof-of-concept demonstrations have been done using them. But a team from IBM Zurich has now gone beyond proof of concept, and it has used an array of a million phase change memory bits as an analog computer, performing tests for temporal correlations on real-world weather data.

In the summer of 1900 some sponge divers came across an ancient wreck offPoint Glyphadia on the Greek island Antikythera. The salvaged a number of artifacts most of which were packed up and sent to the National Museum of Archeology in Athens. Two years later, on this day, the 17th of May, 1902, ...
