Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a scholarly exploration of the development of complex quantities, also known as imaginary numbers. Beginning with the work of 18th-century surveyor Caspar Wessel, it traces the revolution in mathematical notation and language that enabled scientists and engineers to better understand and calculate alternating electric currents, laying the foundation for our present understanding of power distribution. Building on Wessel's initial ideas, the author, traces the groundbreaking work of mathematicians and physicists across Europe, including Gauss, Cauchy, and the eponymous Steinmetz, whose methods continue to be fundamental in the study of alternating currents today. The book follows the development of the mathematical formulation of alternating current phenomena from its inception to the present day, providing an in-depth examination of the subject's conceptual underpinnings. It addresses topics such as root of negative one, rotary power, position of a point in a plane, harmonic electromotive force and current, and more. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of mathematics, electrical engineering, or the development of scientific notation.
