Oliver Heaviside
(1850 - 1925) Worked with
Maxwell's equations to reduce the fatigue incurred in solving them.
In the process, he created a form of vector analysis called
"Operational Calculus" that replaced the differential d/dt with the
algebraic variable p, thus transforming differential equations to
algebraic equations (Laplace Transforms). This increased the speed
of solution considerably.
He also proposed the ionized air layer named after him (the
Heavisids layer), that inductance can be added to transmission lines
to increase transmission distance, and that charges will increase in
mass when accelerated.
