- 1966–67
No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1966–67 to 1966–67 (before that, 1963–64 used the number for Analogue Computation); the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
The solution of linear and nonlinear differential, equations, transfer function and system simulation. Signal-flow graphs, algebraic equations, steepest descent techniques, partial differential equations, adjoint computing procedures, automatic analogue iteration methods. Introduction to digital-analogue simulator programs, MIDAS programming on the IBM 7040, PACTOLUS programming on the IBM 7040 and 1710 computers. Hybrid computing, the 1710-TR48 hybrid system; Fortran hybrid instructions. Digital control of continuous systems. Hybrid optimizing techniques.
As printed in the 1966–67 calendar, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original.
Requirements, as last listed
Prerequisite: Math. 31. 3 lectures, 3 hours alternate laboratory, one term.
