This book was written to commemorate the centenary of the death of the universal French mathematician and physicist Henri Poincaré (1854–1912). The latter is acknowledged as one of the world’s two leading mathematicians around 1900, the other being David Hilbert of Göttingen. The author, the English historian of mathematics, Jeremy Gray, is a leading authority on the mathematics of Poincaré, with a deep knowledge of Poincaré’s physics and philosophy as well (zbMath)
