It is generally believed by scholars that Archimedes designed the first analog computer circa 100BC, an example of which was found over 100 years ago. The device found, called the Antikythera Mechanism, is a box of hand cut bronze gears that was used to perform astronomical calculations.

Who created the first graphical computer?

Using a CRT originally designed as a RADAR display. The computer then calculated the coordinates of the points to be drawn and digital to analog converters generated the waveforms needed to draw those points one at a time on the screen. Video was NOT used! Drawing recognizable shapes like characters was very slow and consumed significant amounts of computer time.


What computer was designed for the US Army to calculate trajectories for bombing tables?

Perhaps your thinking of ENIAC, but no ENIAC was designed for calculating artillery firing tables.Both the Norden and Sperry analog computer bombsights preceded ENIAC, but they are electromechanical not electronic. I don't know when the first electronic computer bombsight was made, but remember the Nordens were still in use in the Vietnam war! You can't use tables for bombing, the calculations must be done in real-time.

Who in vented the first computer?

In 1837, Charles Babbage, a British professor of mathematics described his idea for the Analytical Engine, the first stored-program mechanical computer. The Analytical Engine was designed to be powered by a steam engine and was to use Punched Cards, which was used to program mechanical looms at the time.


When and why was the first computer invented?

various business, engineering, and scientific problems in the 1930s and 1940s (including problems raised in WW2) became too large and too time consuming to handle by conventional means, so techniques to automate their solutions were sought. many machines were designed and built: mechanical and electronic analog computers, mechanical and electronic digital computers, even hybrid computers (part digital part analog).

What is the definitioin for analog clock?

An analog clock is one with an analog display (that shows you the time by means of a flat dial marked with the hours of the day and one or more pointers (hands) that point to the time of day on that dial). A true analog clock should also have a mechanical means for keeping the time and driving the pointers.Conversely a digital display would show you the time directly as numbers which change as the time passes and a true digital clock would calculate the time using a digital/electronic mechanism (a computer).


What are the key principles and applications of analog computer science?

Analog computer science involves using continuous physical quantities to represent and process information. Key principles include using analog signals, circuits, and components to perform calculations and simulations. Applications include modeling complex systems, solving differential equations, and processing real-time data.


What is the the unique name of the combination of Analog and Digital computer?

The unique name for the combination of analog and digital computers is "hybrid computer." Hybrid computers leverage the advantages of both types, using analog components for real-time processing and digital components for data storage and complex calculations. This combination allows for enhanced performance in specific applications, such as simulations and control systems.
