Electro–magnetic Theory

Abstract

THIS interesting work, the first volume of which appeared some five years ago, well sustains Mr. Heaviside's reputation as an original investigator, and even when we do not agree with his procedure, we must admire his fertility of resource and the skilful manner in which he develops his methods. Although we are more than once warned that the treatment is not formally or logically arranged, as is indeed the case, Mr. Heaviside has nevertheless, in essentials, admirably arranged his matter, so that we are led on by gentle steps from comparatively simple to more complex problems.

Electro–magnetic Theory.

Vol. ii. By Oliver Heaviside. Pp. xvi + 542. (London: The Electrician Co., Ltd.)
