Description

Oliver Heaviside, a pioneer of modern electrical theory, was born into a low social class of Victorian England and died in poverty as a recluse. In between, he made advances in mathematics - by introducing the operational calculus; in physics - where he formulated the modern-day expressions of Maxwell's Laws of electromagnetism; and in electrical engineering - through his duplex equations. This biography reveals a man "who often was incapable of conducting himself properly in the most elementary social interactions", yet made extraordinary advances in his field.
