Develops a programed approach for developing design projects. Describes the initiation, design experiences, final report, and problems of the approach. (YP)

This paper discusses the mechanization of mathematical functions by means of analog electronics. Five different approaches are described which demonstrate the versatility of the analog technique by using parabolic function, exponential decay technique, projectile trajectory, trigonometry, and piecewise linear approximation techniques.
