Between 1880 and 1887, Heaviside developed the operational calculus ( involving the D notation for the differential operator, which he is credited with creating ), a method of solving differential equations by transforming them into ordinary algebraic equations which caused a great deal of controversy when first introduced, owing to the lack of rigour in his derivation of it.

In 1887, Heaviside proposed that induction coils ( inductors ) should be added to telephone and telegraph lines to increase their self-induction and correct the distortion which they suffered.

In 1887, Heaviside introduced the concept of loading coils.

By applying his operational calculus to the analysis of this network he discovered ( 1887 ) what has become known as the Heaviside condition.

Oliver Heaviside coined the term in December 1887.

Oliver Heaviside first defined this property, which he called permittance, in June 1887.

This was in connection with the work of Heaviside ( 1887 ), who determined that the electrostatic fields in motion were deformed ( Heaviside Ellipsoid ), which leads to physically undetermined conditions at the speed of light.

In 1902, Heaviside proposed the existence of the Kennelly – Heaviside layer of the ionosphere which bears his name.

Hoagland has proposed a form of physics he calls " hyperdimensional physics " which, supported by the work of pseudoscientific overunity claimant Thomas E. Bearden, he claims to represent the full implementation of James Clerk Maxwell's original 20 quaternion equations, instead of the reduced Maxwell's equations as amended by Oliver Heaviside commonly taught today.

In a February 1902 manuscript, with handwritten notes of Oliver Heaviside, Giovanni Giorgi proposed a set of rational units of electromagnetism including the weber, noting that " the product of the volt into the second has been called the weber by the B.

Furthermore, within CGS, there are several plausible choices of electromagnetic units, leading to different unit " sub-systems ", including Gaussian, " ESU ", " EMU ", and Heaviside – Lorentz.

The Kennelly – Heaviside layer, named after Arthur Edwin Kennelly and Oliver Heaviside, also known as the E region or simply the Heaviside layer, is a layer of ionised gas occurring between roughly 90 – 150 km ( 56 – 93 mi ) above the ground — one of several layers in the Earth's ionosphere.

But Gilpin's works remained popular and several new editions, with additions by John Heaviside Clark, were brought out.

CGS-emu ( or " electromagnetic cgs ") units are one of several systems of electromagnetic units within the centimetre gram second system of units ; others include cgs-esu, Gaussian units, and Lorentz – Heaviside units.

The emu-cgs ( or " electromagnetic cgs ") units are one of several systems of electromagnetic units within the centimetre gram second system of units ; others include esu-cgs, Gaussian units, and Lorentz – Heaviside units.

Heaviside did much to develop and advocate vector methods and the vector calculus.

Heaviside considered, but rejected, this possibility which left him with the strategy of increasing L as the way to reduce distortion.

Heaviside showed mathematically that uniformly distributed inductance in a telegraph line would diminish both attenuation and distortion, and that, if the inductance were great enough and the insulation resistance not too high, the circuit would be distortionless while currents of all frequencies would have equal speeds of propagation.

This cable of Stone's would increase the line inductance due to the iron content and had the potential to meet the Heaviside condition.

Even though Krarup cable added inductance to the line, it did not add enough to meet the Heaviside condition.

The term ' inductance ' was coined by Oliver Heaviside in February 1886.

The effect was first described in a paper by Horace Lamb in 1883 for the case of spherical conductors, and was generalised to conductors of any shape by Oliver Heaviside in 1885.

The predictions by Heaviside, combined with Planck's radiation theory, probably discouraged further attempts to detect radio waves from the Sun and other astronomical objects.

In addition, Oliver Heaviside and Hertz further developed the theory and introduced modernized versions of Maxwell's equations.

The need for loading coils was discovered by Oliver Heaviside in studying the disappointing slow speed of the Transatlantic telegraph cable.

The origin of the loading coil can be found in the work of Oliver Heaviside on the theory of transmission lines.

This was an independent discovery, Campbell being aware of Heaviside's work in discovering the Heaviside condition, but apparently not aware of Heaviside's suggestion of using loading coils to force a line to meet it.

Pupin's 1899 patent for loading coils, archaically called " Pupin coils ", followed closely on the pioneering work of the English physicist and mathematician Oliver Heaviside, which predates Pupin's patent by some seven years.

She does so by ascending on a flying tire until she reaches a structure resembling clouds, into which she disappears, although in the film version of Cats she ascends with Old Deuteronomy and then she walks up a giant metal hand to the Heaviside layer.

Although at odds with the scientific establishment for most of his life, Heaviside changed the face of mathematics and science for years to come.

During this time Heaviside would sign letters with the initials " W. O. R. M.

The sine integral, which gives the overshoot associated with the Gibbs phenomenon for the Fourier series of a Heaviside step function | step function on the real line.

Heaviside, who began it all, came away with nothing.

In 1840 Lardner ’ s career received a major setback as a result of his involvement with Mary Spicer Heaviside, the wife of Captain Richard Heaviside, of the Dragoon Guards.

Lardner ran off to Paris with Mrs Heaviside, pursued by her husband.

When he caught up with them, Heaviside subjected Lardner to a flogging ; he was unable to persuade his wife to return with him.

It can also be defined with respect to the Heaviside step function u ( t ) or the rectangular function ⊓( t ):

Thus the Gibbs phenomenon can be seen as the result of convolving a Heaviside step function ( if periodicity is not required ) or a square wave ( if periodic ) with a sinc function: the oscillations in the sinc function cause the ripples in the output.

In the case of convolving with a Heaviside step function, the resulting function is exactly the integral of the sinc function, the sine integral ; for a square wave the description is not as simply stated.

where H ( x ) is the Heaviside step function, B are Bernoulli numbers and all derivatives with respect to t are evaluated at t = 0.

Along with Oliver Lodge, Oliver Heaviside and Heinrich Hertz, FitzGerald was a leading figure among the group of " Maxwellians " who revised, extended, clarified, and confirmed James Clerk Maxwell's mathematical theories of the electromagnetic field during the late 1870s and the 1880s.

To obtain the electromagnetic wave equation in a vacuum using the modern method, we begin with the modern ' Heaviside ' form of Maxwell's equations.

In 1885, Preece and Arthur West Heaviside ( Oliver Heaviside's brother ) experimented with parallel telegraph lines and an unwired telephone receiver, discovering radio induction ( later identified with the effects of crosstalk ).

He had a long-standing rivalry with Oliver Heaviside over his traditional ideas about electricity.

If x ( t ) is a real-valued signal with Fourier transform X ( f ), and u ( f ) is the Heaviside step function, then the function:
