A science series for engineers

Now appearing month-by-month in ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING is a series of articles written by some of the foremost authorities in several of the more important and rapidly advancing fields of science that are of special significance to electrical engineers. The original idea was suggested by Prof. Vladimir Karapetoff of Cornell University who urged the preparation and publication of “a series of short articles in ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING for the guidance of ambitious young engineers who wish to prepare themselves for the newer problems (to be met) after the recovery from the present depression.” Taken under advisement by the A.I.E.E. committee on education this suggestion was developed through the active cooperation of many interested parties. The result of more than a year of thoughtful planning, development, and coordination, and presenting the generous contributions of some of the highest recognized authorities, this series of articles aptly has been called a post-college course in contemporary science.
