(1854-1912) was not just one of the most inventive, versatile, and productive mathematicians of all time--he was also a leading physicist who almost won a Nobel Prize for physics and a prominent philosopher of science whose fresh and surprising essays are still in print a century later. The first in-depth and comprehensive look at his many accomplishments, Henri Poincare? explores all the fields that Poincare? touched, the debates sparked by his original investigations, and how his discoveries still contribute to society today. Math historian Jeremy Gray shows that Poincare?'s influence was wide-ranging and permanent. His novel interpretation of non-Euclidean geometry challenged contemporary ideas about space, stirred heated discussion, and led to flourishing research. His work in topology began the modern study of the subject, recently highlighted by the successful resolution of the famous Poincare? conjecture. And Poincare?'s reformulation of celestial mechanics and discovery of chaotic motion started the modern theory of dynamical systems. In physics, his insights on the Lorentz group preceded Einstein's, and he was the first to indicate that space and time might be fundamentally atomic. Poincare? the public intellectual did not shy away from scientific controversy, and he defended mathematics against the attacks of logicians such as Bertrand Russell, opposed the views of Catholic apologists, and served as an expert witness in probability for the notorious Dreyfus case that polarized France. Richly informed by letters and documents, Henri Poincare? demonstrates how one man's work revolutionized math, science, and the greater world"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aScientists$zFrance$vBiography 615 0$aScientists 676 $a509.2 676 $aB 686 $aMAT015000$aBIO015000$aMAT000000$aSCI055000$aTEC009000$2bisacsh 700 $aGray$b Jeremy$f1947-$053883 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786201903321 996 $aHenri Poincar$93780108 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01083cam0 22002653 450 001 SOB017516 005 20251217125416.0 100 $a20040211f1900 |||||ita|0103 ba 101 $aita 102 $aIT 200 1 $a<>Centogiorni e oltre$everso una rifondazione del rapporto fisco-economia?$eAtti del Convegno di studi, Bari 15-17 gennaio 2002$fcur.
