J. Ord-Smith and J. Stephenson provides a comprehensive guide to understanding and implementing computer simulations for continuous processes. The book focuses on how analog, digital, and hybrid computers can be used to model systems involving differential equations, such as vehicle suspension systems and chemical reactions. Through a variety of examples from different scientific and engineering fields, the authors illustrate the practical applications of computer simulation in gaining insights into system behavior under various constraints. The book includes a concise appendix explaining the functioning of analog and hybrid computer units, making it accessible to readers without a background in electric circuit theory ER -
