Books by Oliver Heaviside

Oliver Heaviside FRS (1850-1925) was a brilliant self-taught electrical engineer, physicist and mathematician. Published in 1893, this is the first of three volumes that summarise his work on electromagnetic theory. It gives his first description of vector analysis and reinterprets Maxwell's field equations into the form we know today.

A self-taught authority on electromagnetic theory, telegraphy and telephony, Oliver Heaviside (1850-1925) dedicated his life to electrical technologies. The publication of Electrical Papers in 1892 established his fame among the British reading public. The subjects covered in Volume 1 include voltaic constants, duplex telegraphy, microphones and electromagnets.
