I don't know who built the first DDA, but I believe the first large scale production was the North American Aviation VERDAN computer. It was used on at least three projects, the Hound Dog Inertial Guidance system, the A3J and the Polaris Program Mark 2 Ships Inertial Navigation System.

VERDAN had both DDA and General Purpose sections. The DDA solved the equations of motion using sensed accelerations from the inertial accelerometer devices. The General Purpose section initialized the DDA and performed overall control.

What is the functionality of the first computer?

The first programmable computers were analog computers. One of these was MIT's mechanical Differential Analyzer built in 1929. It was designed to solve differential equations.One of the first programmable digital computers was the Harvard Mark I built in 1942. It could solve any mathematical problem that could fit in its registers. Programming was by multiple 24 channel punched paper tapes, permitting simple subroutines and function table lookup.The first electronic digital computer was the Atanasoff-Berry Computer built in 1942. It could only solve systems of simultaneous equations up to 29 variables.The first programmable electronic digital computer was the Colossus, 11 of which were built between 1943 and 1945. It could only crack messages sent in the Nazi Lorenz teletype Cypher, but studies after the war show that it could have also been programmed to solve mathematical problems but with minor difficulty.The first programmable electronic digital computer that the general public was shown was ENIAC finished in november 1945. Modeled largely on the MIT Differential Analyzer and mechanical adding machines it could solve any mathematical problem that could fit in its registers. Like the Differential Analyzer it was programmed by rewiring its cables and setting hundreds of switches.

When was the analog computer made?

Mechanical ones were built as far back as 100BC. The Bush Differential Analyzer was a large programmable electromechanical analog computer built starting in 1929. The famous Norden Bombsight of WW2 was an electromechanical analog computer designed in the 1930s and built through much of the 1950s, when electronic analog computer bombsights replaced it. Electronic ones were built from the 1930s through the 1970s.

How much did the first computer cost and who created it?

Eckert and Mauchly, in their original ENIAC proposal estimated the total cost at about $50,000. When the proposal was shown to Vanevar Bush (designer of the analog Differential Analyzer) he estimated total cost at about $500,000. Bush was right.
