Abstract:
This is the sesquicentennial year of the birth of Nikola Tesla, one of the most outstanding electrical engineers and scientists of all time. This anniversary is being celebrated all over the world. In the USA this celebration was supported by the National Academy of Engineers. The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Auckland initiated a Public Lecture presentation to honor Nikola Tesla for his enormous contribution to the understanding and development of use of electricity that contributed to the industrialization and global development of America and the rest of the world in the 20th century. The Abstract of the Lecture, titled A Tribute to Nikola Tesla - The Man of Inventions will be presented by Dr Stevan Berber.
