Do analog circuits exist that are essentially mathematical functions in DC?
I am curious if a class of analog circuits exist that would take say a 0-5 V input signal and output a mathematical function like a sine function mapping 0-5 V to 0-2pi, or a log, exponent, polynomial?...

Multisim, Simulation Error
As the picture describes, the Vout is the division's result, but we have an error. Because my experience with MultiSim is not at a high level, why does this happen? Is this my fault ?

Is there a way of dividing 2 DC voltages? ie Vout = V1/V2
I need to take the ratio of two filter outputs as part of a project. I converted them to DC voltage values using a rectifier and a smoothing capacitor thinking that this would make division easier. ...
