May 14, 2024 · Oliver Heaviside (born May 18, 1850, London—died Feb. 3, 1925, Torquay, Devon, Eng.) was a physicist who predicted the existence of the ionosphere, an electrically conductive layer in the upper atmosphere that reflects radio waves.
Nov 1, 2012 · Oliver Heaviside (1850–1925) was a self-educated English mathematical physicist who spent most of his life on the far fringes of the scientific community. Yet he did more than anyone else to shape how James Clerk Maxwell’s electromagnetic theory was understood and applied in the 50 years after Maxwell’s death.
Heaviside, who has been recognized as one of the most eminent exponents of electrical science, particularly for his development of the electromagnetic theory, was elected to honorary membership in the Institute on February 14, 1918. Mr. Heaviside was born in England in 1848, and lived there until his death in 1925.
Jan 21, 2023 · At a time when it was not unusual for engineers to be self-taught and share their work via letter correspondence, Oliver Heaviside (1850–1925), a self-made mathematician, physicist, and electrical engineer, continues to inspire other engineers to venture off the beaten path.
Oliver Heaviside FRS was an English self-taught mathematician and physicist who invented a new technique for solving differential equations, independently developed vector calculus, and rewrote Maxwell's equations in the form commonly used today.
