Oliver Heaviside FRS (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 the more concise format we use today. 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 1922. Published in 1912,
this is the last of three volumes summarising Heaviside's enormous
contribution to electromagnetic theory. It includes a review of his
work on waves from moving sources, and an appendix on vector
analysis that compares its merits to quaternions.
