Description
Biography of Oliver Heaviside, who was a self-taught English electrical engineer, mathematician, and physicist who adapted complex numbers to the study of electrical circuits, and invented mathematical techniques to the solution of differential equations.
First Sentence
England takes great pride and pleasure in her eccentrics; as the Spanish-born philosopher and poet George Santayana wrote in his 1922 The British Character, "England is the paradise of individuality, eccentricity, heresy, anomalies."
