COMPUTERS AND CYBERNETICS
1. The computers or high-speed electronic machines of today have created entirely new technical possi­bilities in automatic control of industrial processes. First designed for solving mathematical problems, they soon paved the way for a new field of science -cybernetics that studies general principles of control both in live and non-live systems.
2. The importance of cybernetics is particularly great in the sphere of engineering sciences. A newly de­veloped field of knowledge is technical cybernetics. Its objectives are to control automatic industrial processes, to study problems of transmission of information and to develop new principles of automatic control.
3. The development of a control computer begins with the study of the objects or units to be controlled. This is followed by the development of working hypotheses about the character of processes taking place in the units, and finally, elaboration of control algorithms.
4. The quantitative relationships of the process being controlled are described by mathematical equa­tions linking together certain functions, some of which are known and others are to be found.
