MADDIDA would prove to be the last and most sophisticated dedicated differential analyzer ever built, from then on all attention turned to electronic computers.
13.
Calculating a single trajectory could take 40 hours using a mechanical desktop calculator, and 30 minutes using a sophisticated machine called a differential analyzer.

During the Second World War, Thomas was involved in early computation systems and programmed the differential analyzer to calculate firing tables for the Navy.
15.
During the war he worked in research establishments on numerical analysis, under experts including Douglas Hartree, and using equipment such as early mechanical differential analyzers.
16.
During the summer of 1948, she built a differential analyzer from Meccano parts, similar to the one described by Hartree and Arthur Porter in 1935.

Palevsky worked at Bendix from 1952 to 1956 designing digital differential analyzers as a project engineer, working on the logic design for the company's first computer.
18.
In the first half of the twentieth century, mechanical analog computers, called differential analyzers, were constructed that used differential gear trains to perform addition and subtraction.
19.
In computer graphics, a "'digital differential analyzer "'( "'DDA "') is hardware or software used for interpolation of perspective correct texture mapping, quadratic curves, and traversing voxels.

Rosseland was instrumental in the effort behind the building of the Oslo Analyzer, built in 1938 and for some time was the world's most powerful differential analyzer.
