Book excerpt: Excerpt from Electrical Engineering: Advanced Course This volume contains abstracts of a series of lectures given to graduate students in electrical engineering at Union College. It is primarily intended to prepare the student to understand and to deal mathematically with phenomena which are incidental to abnormal or transient conditions in electric circuits. The first part is practically a reprint of a series of articles published by the author some years ago in the General Electric Review. These cover the simple transients in circuits containing concentrated inductance, capacity, and resistance, which have been treated by many authors, notably by Bedell And Crehore in their "Alternating Currents," published 1893. The second part deals with the somewhat more difficult problems of transients in circuits of distributed inductance, capacity and resistance. These were treated mathematically very fully almost thirty years ago by Heaviside in a series of papers on "Electromagnetic Theory," later published in book form. In 1909 Steinmetz's "Transient Phenomena" appeared. This book covered in a broad sense very much the same ground as that of the authors given above, but covered it in an essentially different way; introducing for the first time - as far as the author knows - a really advanced book on practical electrical engineering problems. The third part of the book deals with problems in electrostatics. These again have been very fully treated almost fifty years ago by Maxwell in his famous books on Electricity and Magnetism. Since that time a large number of papers and books have appeared on the subject, notably by Heaviside, Kelvin, Gray, Jeans and Webster, and quite recently by Coffin in his interesting little book on "Vector Analysis." While the literature on this phase of engineering is thus very extensive, it has, for all purposes, been closed to the practical engineer because of his lack of sufficient mathematical knowledge. Dr. W.S. Franklin has, however, recently published a number of papers, which in a beautifully simple way have demonstrated that these advanced problems can be solved with simple mathematics.
