| Title | Letter from Oliver Heaviside, Bradley View, Newton Abbot, to [Joseph] Larmor |
| Creator | Heaviside; Oliver (1850-1925); British physicist and electrical engineer |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | 27 August 1900 |
| Description | Commencing: 'Brain stiffening refers to tonic property, but it may be misunderstood, so I will delete it'. On Larmor's recommendation he went to p.116, 'They get [Augustin Jean] Fresnel all right'. He will mention it in his book and he has found other examples, but none better than Larmor's. Heaviside does not follow [Hendrik Antoon] Lorentz's way, but with his fundamental equations he does not get Fresnel. |
