Application of Desk-Top Computers as Aids in Teaching Mathematics

Some basic, unpretentious analog circuits are presented which may be useful in demonstrating mathematical concepts introduced at the senior high and college freshman levels. The analog computer is used as a picture-drawing device. How it operates is not emphasized. These circuits have been used several times in presentations made to groups of teachers, and should be of particular interest to those involved in teaching algebra in high school and college freshman classes.
