Abstract

In his analysis of signal propagation in telegraph cables Heaviside demonstrated a masterful ability to manipulate the mathematics of partial differential equations. Maxwell’s theory, to which he turned his full attention at this point, carried overtones of Hamilton’s powerful, if somewhat abstruse, algebra of quaternions. Having read Heaviside’ early work, one could expect him to follow suit, expand the analysis, and apply his mathematical skills to the detailed study of specific, illustrative cases just as he did with the telegraph cable.
