An analog computer was designed and tested to solve any fourth order constant-coefficients and linear differential equation. The state space approach was used to covert the fourth order differential equation to four first order differential equation. The analog computer was built using operational amplifiers, resistors and capacitors. Using the Multisim simulator, various input types were tested across the input terminals of the analog computer and the results were recorded.
