Analogue Computer

A machine or electronic circuit designed to work on numerical data
represented by some physical quantity (e.g. rotation or displacement) or
electrical quantity (e.g. voltage or charge) which varies continuously, in
contrast to digital signals which are either 0 or 1 (Off or On).

For example, the turning of a wheel or the movement of a mouse or joystick
can be used as input. Analogue computers are said to operate in real time
and are used for research in design where many different shapes and speeds
can be tried out quickly. A computer model of a car suspension allows the
designer to see the effects of changing size, stiffness and damping.

  Let me make it simple for you. Your methods can't compute anything worth
while.

In the context used, it is intented to mean a bulk characteristic, an
average, a mean, a statistical quantity.

I will give you a pass for not understanding the english language.
