Heaviside's formulation of which equations became academically and commercially important during his lifetime?

  • The hydrostatic equations

  • The Navier-Stokes equations

  • The sine and cosine series

  • The telegrapher's equations

Answer

The telegrapher's equations, also known as the transmission line equations, are a set of partial differential equations that describe the propagation of electrical signals in transmission lines. They were first formulated by Oliver Heaviside in 1885 and became academically and commercially important during his lifetime. The telegrapher's equations are used to design and analyze transmission lines, and they also have applications in other fields such as microwave engineering and acoustics.
