520 $aThis book describes the life and work of Henri Poincare , detailing most of his unique achievements in mathematics and physics. It is divided into two parts--the first on Poincare 's life, and the second on his contributions to the mathematical sciences. Apart from biographical details, attention is given to Poincare 's results on automorphic functions; differential equations and dynamical systems; celestial mechanics; mathematical physics, in particular the theory of the electron and relativity; and topology (analysis situs). A chapter on philosophy explains Poincare 's conventionalism in mathematics and his view of conventionalism in physics. The book shows how Poincare reached his fundamentally new results in many different fields, how he thought about problems, and how one should read his work. Simultaneously, it is made clear how analysis and geometry are intertwined in Poincare 's thinking and work. In dynamical systems, this becomes clear in his description of invariant manifolds, his association of differential equation flow with mappings, and his fixed-point theory. There is no comparable book on Poincare presenting such a relatively complete vision of his life and the working of his very original mind. Scientists and engineers as well as general readers interested in the history of science will find this book of interest. Reviews of this book:"The title of this biography is particularly well chosen : Henri Poincare was a true genius, and he was impatient. It gives a fair picture of both the man and the scientist, completed by particularly well chosen illustrations. Jean Mawhin, Universite Catholique de Louvain, Belgium "Ferdinand Verhulst has written a true scientific biography, introducing Poincare the man, his cultural milieu, and his mathematics. This book shows why, a century after his death, Poincare 's ideas still shape a substantial part of the mathematical sciences." Philip J Holmes, Princeton University, USA ℗Ł.
