Perhaps you meant:

  • Differential Analyzer, a type of analog computer designed to solve differential equations.
  • Digital Differential Analyzer, a type of digital computer designed to solve differential equations.

Both are special purpose computers, often not programmable and when programmable typically difficult to reprogram as they are normally programmed by rewiring not loading code. However as they are highly parallel machines they can generally solve a system of differential equations many times faster than a general purpose digital computer of similar technology.

Rarely if ever seen today though. Mostly because general purpose machines are easier to program and can do the same thing, even if a bit slower.

Why do you need numerical method?

Numerical Methods are used because of following reasons> 1. NO analytical solution of a problem exists. 2. Analytical solution exists but is difficult to find. 3. Due to use of computers, cumbersome calculations can be done easily and solution is reached in shorter duration of time.
