This book is a comprehensive introduction to analog and hybrid computer programming. Its coverage of this powerful computing paradigm updates and extends the scope of the classic textbooks of the 1960s and 1970s. Stored-program digital computers are about to reach fundamental limits with respect to integration density, energy efficiency, parallelism, and energy consumption. With digital information technologies predicted to consume 10 to 20% of the world's total electrical energy in 2030. energy efficiency is a major concern in computing. Analog and hybrid computers offer a modern path to more energy efficient computing, outperforming classic digital computers by up to several magnitudes for certain problems. Analog and hybrid computers will find applications in fields such as artificial intelligence and machine learning, high-performance computing, control systems, medical implants, mobile computing and wearable devices, signal processing, and many more. The book contains a wealth of worked examples, ranging from simple reaction kinetics models to complex systems.

It also has a chapter describing useful subprograms which can be used to solve many practical problems. It is intended for students and researchers who are interested in analog and hybrid computing in general. Book jacket.
