Excerpt from Revolving Vectors: With Special Application to Alternating Current Phenomena
We may then consider that what has been taken as multi plication by - 1 is not really multiplication at all, but merely the use of an operator turning an eastward through 180° into a westward sense of counting.

Paperback. Condition: 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. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
