Editorial Review

Product Description

"He was a man who often was incapable of conducting himself properly in the most elementary social interactions. His only continuing contacts with women were limited to his mother, nieces, and housekeepers. He was a man who knew the power of money and desired it, but refused to work for it, preferring to live off the sweat of his family and long-suffering friends, whom he often insulted even as they paid his bills." -- from the book

This, then, was Oliver Heaviside, a pioneer of modern electrical theory. Born into a low social class of Victorian England, Heaviside 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. Now available in paperback with a new preface by the author, this acclaimed biography will appeal to historians of technology and science, as well as to scientists and engineers who wish to learn more about this remarkable man.

5-0 out of 5 stars Oliver Heaviside byo
An excellent book which gives a deep insight into the life and work of this unknown genious.

4-0 out of 5 stars An outstanding biography of an outstanding scientist
Oliver Heaviside is practically unknown today, unless you still call the ionosphere the Heaviside Layer, but far less worthy scientists have been awarded Nobel prizes. He has found an excellent biographer in Paul Nahin, who is completely at home with his material. It's a delight to see footnotes and technical notes that seriously enhance the value of the book. Thoroughly recommended to anyone with an interest in a man who helped to establish our electrical & electronic age.

5-0 out of 5 stars Oliver Heaviside the twin brother of the greatest physicist of all times James Clerk Maxelll
Definitively professor Paul J. Nahin must be not just a great mind, but a great soul and great educator too. I just want to thank him for sharing with us this magnificent work.

This review of his book is written too, not for those "seeking a way to kill time", neither for those who faint at the sight of square root, and let alone of the square root of minus one.

The most impressive and amazing thing about the work of J.C.M and O. H. is that they the both developed the Electromagnetic theory in a time when the electron concept did not exist, or else, within a wrong framework.

They both

"strived, in fact, to achieve a physical theory without making assumptions about the underying details of the physics",

something that is seen quite often, these days, in some modern theoretical physicists, the so-called mainstream physics.

This work of professor Nahin is so full of hints why the electromagnetic theory "have resisted the errosion and corrosion of progress", and the first and most obvious one is that behind that theory lies the basis of physical reality, or as Einstein said once, understanding the electron is enough.

In fact my guess is that the electron is our first form of "measurable" energy which

"is one the great continuing(and, to my mind mysterious)issues"

of the physical reality, that Faraday resumed, thinking most probably in the magnetic field, and as so in a general and "easy" to grasp concept, I mean, the field, as anyone can "see" its lines of force in the space around, a reason why Thomson realized

"that a Faraday field could in some way store energy"

recognizing this fact as its greatest idea, but its was Maxwell who

"made the idea of distributedenergy in space the central concept of electrodynamics"

However when dealing with the field concept there we have a departure of ideas between Maxwell and Heaviside, as it were, between the "pure physicist" and the engineer dealing and thinking in the physical reality.

The question is:

is not modern thought making a great mistake when

"turning away from the view of Hertz and Heaviside that the fields are the real thing"?

Maxwell was most impressed with its mathematical-theoretical beautiful concept the

"Electrokinetic Momentum... that...it may even be called the fundamental quantity of electrodynamics",

a point of view shared today, in some way, by the nobel prize Richard Feynman who wrote:

"In the theory of quantum electrodynamics, one takes the vector and scalar potential as the fundamental quantities. E and B are slowly disappearing from the modern expression of physical laws".

Well, for not extending this review anymore, I wonder if in some way, behind this departure is not the reason why the Father of Quantum mechanics, Erwin Schrodinger wrote in his Interpretation of Quantum mechanics, July 1952 Colloquium:

"I am opposing not a few specialstatementsof quantum mechanics held today, I opposing as it were the whole of it, I am opposing its basics views that have been shaped 25 years ago...

...here no trace is left of anything that might be thought of as representing the path of a particle. Hence the idea of point electrons-whatever it may mean elsewhere- becomes absolutely inadequate in this region, that is to say within the "body" of an atom. To my mind it is patently absurd to call anything the probability of finding an electron near a particular point in this region..."

There we have a departure between the particle point of view still prevailing in modern physics when dealing with the electron, and considering it, the electron, a source of a more fundamental real field, I mean, the magnetic field B in which energy is stored, being it the real thing we can grasp and measure, when dealing with the mysterious energy concept.

4-0 out of 5 stars Worth reading
This book has a nice mix of scientific history and mathematical information. It's not just pages of equations, but they are there to help explain the concepts. Also the tech notes are great for those of us who like to see how it all works out. I would recommend this book to engineers, scientists, mathematicians, or just people who enjoy a little history of science and technology. Heaviside is quite an interesting person.

5-0 out of 5 stars A very good book for students and "real" scientist/engineers
Students who are really interested in physics, electrical engineering or related subjects would find this book informative and inspiring.
Real electrical engineer would have the deepest feeling when reading through the lines.
Written for a genius (hero) by a great educator of the field. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Product Description
One of the great pioneers of electrical science, Oliver Heaviside (1850-1925) was a self-educated, fiercely independent genius who cared nothing for social or mathematical conventions. Among many achievements, he showed how to rid telephone lines of distortion and put Maxwell's wonderful but hitherto inaccessible theory of electromagnetism into its modern form. In his writings, and in life, he was always provocative, often amusing, sometimes infuriating, but never dull. This is a compelling account of Heaviside's life with a powerful insight into his scientific thinking and why it has been so influential.

Product Description
Englishman OLIVER HEAVISIDE (1850-1925) left school at 16 to teach himself electrical engineering, eventually becoming a renowned mathematician and one of the world's premiere authorities on electromagnetic theory and its applications for communication, including the telegraph and telephone. Here in three volumes are his collected writings on electromagnetic theory-Volume I was first published in 1893. This is a catalog of the bulk of his postulations, theorems, proofs, and common problems (and solutions) in electromagnetism, many of which had been published in article form. Part scientific history-including references to some contemporary criticisms, long since shown to be poorly based, of Heaviside's scholarship-and part guide to understanding a complex applied science, this work shows both the genius and the eccentricity of a man whose work includes precursory theories to Einstein, and revolutionary principles that today are the commonly assumed truths in the field of electrical engineering. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars More than about Crazy Love, it is Crazy Love!
From page xi:

"To write this book required that I be willing to spend hours and days and weeks and months and years reading Heaviside...and to be honest and frank with you, it was hard to do. IT ALMOST DID ME IN, and I now understand why so many of his readers tore their hair out trying to read him. I do not sneer at historians who may have once thought of doing a book like this but then thought the better of it once they realized what they would have to go through."

From far down the page xii:

"But no matter, it has been a labor of love.... Indeed, as the job draws to a close I am bedeviled by the question, what do I do now?"

And a little farther down on xii:

"...made me feel as close as I'll ever come to my hero, that intrepid professor of action and romance, Indiana Jones."

4-0 out of 5 stars Revealing biography of a hermit genius
Oliver Heaviside was born in London in 1850, the youngest of four sons of a poor and often brutal wood engraver.Oliver never attended college and had only one job for only six years:as a telegraph clerk and technician.Nevertheless he taught himself college-level mathematics and physics.He grew to become a respected expert in electromagnetism:He independently developed vector analysis and thereby cast Maxwell's equations into their modern form.He also studied transmission lines, inventing operator calculus to do so.In studying the electrodynamics of a moving charged sphere, he, with George Searle, anticipated aspects of Einstein's special relativity.However, throughout his adult life he seems to have been handicapped by chronic depression, which made him a cantankerous loner.

This book will be understood and appreciated best by readers who are familiar with college-level electromagnetism.However, the author does try to appeal to a wider audience:he relegates mathematical aspects of Heaviside's work to appendices.(I would have preferred more math since that's the basis of Heaviside's reputation.)The text is liberally sprinkled with excerpts from Heaviside's correspondence and with the author's first-person comments.(I would have preferred a little less of both.)References are abundant.This book should be regarded as the definitive biography of this curious, inspiring genius.

5-0 out of 5 stars Out-of-Print----BUT NOT FOR LONG
As the author of this book, you may want to ignore my rating! I am really writing to simply note that the book will be reprinted late in 2001 or early in 2002 by The Johns Hopkins University Press. I have written a new introduction for the JHUP edition to bring the book up-to-date on all the latest about Heaviside. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Product Description

Oliver Heaviside's electromagnetic investigations - from the publication of his first electrical paper in 1972 to the public recognition awarded to him by Lord Kelvin in 1889 - have consistently attracted attention over the years, and of late have become a major source for the study of the development of field theory after Maxwell. "From Obscurity to Enigma" is the only comprehensive, in-depth analysis of Heaviside's work. It analyses and elucidates his brilliant but often close-to-indecipherable Electrical Papers and traces the evolution of his ideas against the background of growing knowledge in basic electromagnetic theory, telegraphy and telephony during these years. The book will be appreciated by historians of science and technology in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and by physicists and electrical engineers, many of whom are aware of Heaviside's contributions to their respective fields.

Many of his novels, with their recurrent theme of social reform, first appeared in magazines in serialised form, a popular format at the time. Unlike other authors who completed entire novels before serialisation, Dickens often created the episodes as they were being serialized. The practice lent his stories a particular rhythm, punctuated by cliffhangers to keep the public looking forward to the next instalment.

Product Description
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In physics, the Poynting vector can be thought of as representing the energy flux (in W/m2) of an electromagnetic field. It is named after its inventor John Henry Poynting. Oliver Heaviside independently co-discovered the Poynting vector.Sometimes, an alternative definition in terms of electric field E and the magnetic field B is used, which is explained below. It is even possible to combine the displacement field D with the magnetic field B to get the Minkowski form of the Poynting vector, or use D and H to construct another. A generalization to dispersive materials is possible under certain circumstances at the cost of additional terms and the loss of their clear physical interpretation. ... Read more
