High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The differential analyser was a mechanical analog computer designed to solve differential equations by integration, using wheel-and-disc mechanisms to perform the integration. It was one of the first advanced computing devices to be used operationally. Research on solutions of differential equations using mechanical devices started at least as early as 1836, when the French physicist Gaspard-Gustave Coriolis designed a mechanical device to integrate differential equations of the first order. The analyser was invented in 1876 by James Thomson, brother of Lord Kelvin.
