The unpublished notes of the author, some of which were found in 1957, contained many discoveries: the ways in which the author's ideas developed. This title features two lengthy appendices that include these.

Oliver Heaviside is probably best known to the majority of mathematicians for the Heaviside function in the theory of distribution. His main research activity concerned the theory of electricity and magnetism. This book brings together many of Heaviside's published and unpublished notes and short articles written between 1891 and 1912.

A self-taught authority on electromagnetic theory, telegraphy and telephony, Oliver Heaviside (1850 1925) dedicated his adult life to the improvement of electrical technologies. Inspired by James Clerk Maxwell's field theory, he spent the 1880s presenting his ideas as a regular contributor to the weekly journal, The Electrician. The publication of Electrical Papers, a year after his election to the Royal Society in 1891, established his fame beyond the scientific community. An eccentric figure with an impish sense of humour, Heaviside's accessible style enabled him to educate an entire...

Oliver Heaviside (1850 1925) was a scientific maverick and a gifted self-taught electrical engineer, physicist and mathematician. He patented the co-axial cable, pioneered the use of complex numbers for circuit analysis, and reworked Maxwell's field equations into a more concise format. In 1891 the Royal Society made him a Fellow for his mathematical descriptions of electromagnetic phenomena. Along with Arthur Kennelly, he also predicted the existence of the ionosphere. Often dismissed by his contemporaries, his work achieved wider recognition when he received the inaugural Faraday Medal in...
