Book excerpt: Excerpt from Electric and Magnetic Circuits Electrical Engineering, deals with the fundamental principles of Electricity and Magnetism, and explains fully all the essential relationships of Electric and Magnetic Circuits met with in continuous current working, and it is hoped that the subjects of generation, transmission, distribution and application of electrical energy may receive full and adequate treatment in the succeeding volumes without requiring so much introductory matter, devoted to Electrical Engineering principles, terms and definitions, as is customary in many of the standard technical treatises. Furthermore, the experience of the author leads him to the conclusion that but few engineers are able to take full advantage of the classical works with which electrical literature abounds, simply and solely because they have not mastered thoroughly the elements of the Arithmetic of Electrical Engineering. The cultivation of the power and ability to calculate readily and accurately is just as important as the cultivation of the ability to do practical work; and to emphasize this fact the opinions of two eminent electrical engineers and educational authorities may be quoted. Twenty years ago Lord Kelvin made the following statement at a meeting of the Institution of Civil Engineers: In physical science a first essential step in the direction of learning any subject is to find principles of numerical reckoning, and methods for practically measuring some quality connected with it. I often say that when you can measure what you are speaking about, and explain it in numbers, you know something about it; but when you cannot measure it, when you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge is of a meagre and unsatisfactory kind More recently, Professor Ayrton, F.E.S.
