Oliver Heaviside FRS (1850-1925) was a brilliant self-taught electrical engineer, physicist and mathematician. Published in 1899, this is the second of three volumes covering his electromagnetic theory. Here, he argues that physical problems drive mathematical ideas, and goes on to compare the propagation of electromagnetic waves with physical analogues.

Published separately in 1893, 1899 and 1912, these three volumes bring together Oliver Heaviside's extraordinary contributions to electromagnetic theory.
