- Abstract
A differential analyser, installed by the Mathematical Instruments Section of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization, has been in operation in the Electrical Engineering Department of the University of Sydney for about twelve months. This paper gives a brief description of the instrument in relation to other instruments of the same class, explains how it is set up or "programmed" to solve differential equations and includes an account of some of the more interesting problems already solved on it.
