Summary
By testing theories in real-life conditions, Oliver Heaviside (1850–1925) often drew surprising conclusions from contemporary formulae, and found flaws. This book, first published in 1889, and followed by his Electrical Papers and Electromagetic Theory, is an exploration of both Heaviside's work on telegraphic propagation, and contemporary research in electromagnetism.

Electromagnetic Waves by Oliver Heaviside
Oliver Heaviside (1850-1925), the self-taught physicist and electrical engineer, began his career as an operator on the newly laid Anglo-Danish telegraph cable in 1868. The most advanced electrical technology of the time, the cable system inspired several of his early mathematical papers. This monograph, first published as a paper in the Philosophical Magazine in 1888, then as a book in 1889, draws on his established work on telegraphic propagation and self-inductance, and on Maxwell's field theory. In a fascinating insight into the contemporary scientific community, he complains that these subjects are still often misunderstood, and explains his formulae afresh from several angles. Also covered - and frequently questioned - are contemporary theories of permittivity, the speed of electromagnetic waves, and the dielectric properties of conductors. Heaviside's Electrical Papers (2 volumes, 1892) and his Electromagnetic Theory (3 volumes, 1893-1912) have also been reissued in this series.| SKU | Unavailable |
