Abstract
BY the death of Oliver Heaviside the scientific world loses one of its most original thinkers. He was born in London on May 13, 1850, and his uncle was Sir Charles Wheatstone, the practical founder of modern telegraphy. The Heaviside family were interested in music and telegraphy. His brother Charles, who lived at Torquay, was connected with the musical industry, and his brother, Arthur West Heaviside, was a superintending engineer to the Post Office and one of the pioneers of radio telegraphy.
