J. W. L. G. Heaviside

J. W. L. G. Heaviside was a pioneering engineer and mathematician who made significant contributions to electrical engineering. He developed methods to analyze complex electrical circuits and introduced the concept of "boundary conditions" in electrical systems. He is best known for his work on Maxwell's equations, which describe electricity and magnetism; he simplified these equations into a more practical form called the "Heaviside equations." His innovations helped improve the design of telegraph and telephone systems, laying foundation for modern electrical engineering and wireless communication.
