Englishman OLIVER HEAVISIDE (1850-1925) left school at 16 to teach
himself electrical engineering, eventually becoming a renowned
mathematician and one of the world's premiere authorities on
electromagnetic theory and its applications for communication,
including the telegraph and telephone. Here in three volumes are
his collected writings on electromagnetic theory-Volume I was first
published in 1893. This is a catalog of the bulk of his
postulations, theorems, proofs, and common problems (and solutions)
in electromagnetism, many of which had been published in article
form. Part scientific history-including references to some
contemporary criticisms, long since shown to be poorly based, of
Heaviside's scholarship-and part guide to understanding a complex
applied science, this work shows both the genius and the
eccentricity of a man whose work includes precursory theories to
Einstein, and revolutionary principles that today are the commonly
assumed truths in the field of electrical engineering.
