A member of the Academie francaise, Henri Poincare (1854 1912) was
one of the greatest mathematicians and theoretical physicists of
the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. His discovery of
chaotic motion laid the foundations of modern chaos theory, and he
was acknowledged by Einstein as a key contributor in the field of
special relativity. He earned his enduring reputation as a
philosopher of mathematics and science with this elegantly written
work, which was first published in French as three separate essays:
Science and Hypothesis (1902), The Value of Science (1905), and
Science and Method (1908). Poincare asserts that much scientific
work is a matter of convention, and that intuition and prediction
play key roles. George Halsted's authorised 1913 English
translation retains Poincare's lucid prose style, presenting
complex ideas for both professional scientists and those readers
interested in the history of mathematics and the philosophy of
science."
