First published in 1914, as the second edition of a 1904 original, this book forms part one of a two-volume series written to provide a guide to the more general mathematical theorems used by electricians in their everyday work. Illustrative figures are incorporated throughout the text. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in electricity, physics and the history of science.
