The Rockefeller Differential Analyzer was an early analog computing device developed in the 1930s at the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research (now the Rockefeller University) in New York City. It was designed by engineer and physicist Vannevar Bush and his team, including Harold Stephen Black and others. The analyzer was a significant advancement in the field of computation and was used primarily to solve differential equations, which are mathematical equations that relate a function to its derivatives.
