Abstract :
The second Steinmetz Lecture, entitled The Solution of Transient Phenomena by Elementary Mathematics was delivered by Dr. Ernst J. Berg, Professor of Electrical Engineering, Union University, at the meeting of the Schenectady Section on April 23. The Steinmetz Lectures are a series of annual addresses which was instituted last year by the Schenectady Section in honor of the late Dr. C. P. Steinmetz. The first address was given by Dr. M. I. Pupin in 1925. For the second lecture Dr. Berg selected a subject in which Dr. Steinmetz was deeply interested throughout his lifetime. The lecture was much appreciated by the 450 who were present. Copies of the address may be obtained from Institute headquarters, New York.
