This badass right here.

Oliver Heaviside was a self-taught English electrical engineer, mathematician, and physicist who:

>adapted complex numbers to the study of electrical circuits
>invented mathematical techniques to the solution of differential equations (later found to be equivalent to Laplace transforms)
>reformulated Maxwell's field equations in terms of electric and magnetic forces and energy flux >independently co-formulated vector analysis.
