American Mathematical Soc., 2003 - Education - 666 pages
Oliver Heaviside is probably best known to the majority of mathematicians for the Heaviside function in the theory of distribution. His main research activity concerned the theory of electricity and magnetism. This book brings together many of Heaviside's published and unpublished notes and short articles written between 1891 and 1912.

Page 1 - There is a time for all things: for shouting, for gentle speaking, for silence; for the washing of pots and the writing of books. Let now the pots go black, and set to work. It is hard to make a beginning, but it must be done' - Oliver Heaviside, Electromagnetic Theory, Vol 3 (1912), Ch 9, 'Waves from moving sources - Adagio.
