On Shannon's Almost Uniform Distribution

This report describes a new digital differential analyzer (DDA) technique for computing equations of the form f(x)=c/x (c=constant), which was developed to solve a problem posed by the Systems Laboratory. The major advantages of this new method over conventional DDA methods are: a much smaller truncation error because only one integration is performed, and reduced size of the equipment, since it requires only one Y register and one time-shared adder.
