Theory And Calculation Of Transient Electric Phenomena And Oscillations (1920)

Theory and Calculation of Transient Electric Phenomena and Oscillations is a book written by Charles Proteus Steinmetz and published in 1920. The book is a comprehensive guide to the theory and calculation of electric phenomena and oscillations, covering topics such as transient electric phenomena in circuits, oscillatory circuits, and the analysis of alternating currents. Steinmetz was a prominent electrical engineer and mathematician who made significant contributions to the development of alternating current (AC) power systems. In this book, he presents a detailed explanation of the mathematical principles underlying the behavior of electric circuits, including the use of complex numbers and phasors to represent alternating currents. The book is divided into three parts, with the first part covering the basic principles of electric circuits and the second part focusing on the analysis of transient phenomena. The third part of the book is dedicated to the study of oscillatory circuits, including the theory of resonance and the calculation of resonant frequencies. Overall, Theory and Calculation of Transient Electric Phenomena and Oscillations is a valuable resource for electrical engineers and students of electrical engineering who seek a deeper understanding of the mathematical principles underlying the behavior of electric circuits. The book is written in a clear and concise style, with numerous examples and exercises to aid in comprehension.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
