Heaviside


 

Links I have that still work are:
https://aetherczar.com/help-restore-the-heaviside-memorial/ &
https://blogs.ncl.ac.uk/alexyakovlev/2014/07/21/heaviside-memorial-project/ .

But they lead nowhere. The memorial project is a heading in Oliver's WikiPedia page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oliver_Heaviside .
He is buried in Devon.

FWIW, A good deal of information concerning Heaviside's contributions to EM field theory (including his vector calculus-based formulation of Maxwell's equations as compared to Maxwell's original differential equation-based formulation) is included in Bruce Hunt's book "The Maxwellians".

Thanks for all the fish.

Another very interesting book by Bruce Hunt: Imperial Science. Should be required reading for EE students. Land line telegraph was interesting but things really became interesting when the wires were placed under water and under ground. Things became so interesting that Maxwell became hooked for most of his remaining life on understanding electromagnetic fields.

Alas we are just systems engineers now… just purchase the correct black box, write some code and rush it into production before it becomes obsolete! I’m writing and listening to my diy hi fi. All analog. Just saying… ham radio since 1963. Greg Kordes
