    Study Notes

    Analog Computers

    • Process continuous signals or data that vary smoothly over time or space

    Characteristics of Analog Computers

    • Examples include slide rules, planimeters, and analog calculators
    • Used for operations involving continuous or analog signals
    • Typically used for simulations, modeling, and optimization problems

    Digital Computers

    • Represent quantities using digits or numbers
    • Involve two typical states: 0 and 1 (or on and off)
    • Process discrete data, which consists of individual, distinct elements

    Advantages and Disadvantages

    • A disadvantage of analog computers is their limited precision and accuracy
    • A key advantage of digital computers is their high precision and accuracy
