The Logician and the Engineer
Boolean algebra, also called Boolean logic, is at the heart of the electronic circuitry in everything we use—from our computers and cars, to home appliances. How did a system of mathematics established in the Victorian era become the basis for such incredible technological achievements a century later? This book combines engaging problems and a colorful historical narrative to tell the remarkable story of how two men in different eras—mathematici…

A History of the Circle
Oliver Heaviside, Fractional Operators, and the Age of the Earth
Oliver Heaviside is today usually remembered by technologists as an eccentric electrical engineer who once had something to do with the ionosphere. Sometimes it is even recalled he had a curious method (called the "operational calculus") for doing his mathematics, and somehow applied it in a strange and mysterious manner to difficult problems. One of these problems was that of calculating the age of the Earth, and it got Heaviside indirectly invo…
A Simple Operator Approach for Analytic Solution of Linear Constant-Coefficient Difference Equations
A simple extension of elementary linear differential equation theory is presented that includes linear constant-coefficient difference equations. The main body of the paper is written in a manner suitable for undergraduate classroom use by the advanced first year or regular second year engineering/science student. Four examples of the theory are presented from such diverse subjects as probability, communication theory, electrical engineering, and…
