  • ruТип компьютера, который обрабатывает непрерывно изменяющиеся физические величины, такие как электрическое напряжение, механическое движение или давление жидкости, а не дискретные цифровые значения. Эти машины широко использовались в научных и инженерных приложениях до доминирования цифровых компьютеров.

A type of computer that processes continuously variable physical quantities, such as electrical voltage, mechanical movement, or fluid pressure, rather than discrete digital values. These machines were widely used in scientific and engineering applications before the dominance of digital computers.
