Oliver Heaviside (1850-1925),British physicist and mathematician. Having no formal education,Heaviside worked initially as a telegraph operator until deafness forced him to stop. Applying mathematics to electric circuits and the theory of telegraphy,he formulated the concepts of impedance,conductance and self-inductance. He showed how audio signals could be transmitted down cables without distortion; showed how a telephone line can carry many conversations simultaneously (multiplexing); then suggested a reflecting layer in the upper atmosphere to radio signals (now the Heaviside layer). He wrote: 'Electromagnetic Theory' (3 volumes) but his unified field theory was lost | |
