Description
In this programme the way in which an analogue computer calculates solutions of a differential equation is described, and used to make plausible the existence and uniqueness theorem for solutions o...f linear differential equations. The differential equation of damped oscillations is formulated, and used to show how the type of motion depends on the amount of damping.
