چکیده
1036 NOTICES OF THE AMS VOLUME 52, NUMBER 9 In 1954 the scientific community celebrated the 100th anniversary of Henri Poincaré’s birth. At that time, Poincaré’s fame was not at its highest point among mathematicians, and the spirit of Hilbert dominated most mathematical minds. His fame was also not at its highest point among physicists, as physics was then essentially concerned with quantum theory. Nevertheless, the celebration was important in the many places where Poincaré’s presence or name had been significant. The proceedings of this celebration were published as a memorial book and were reproduced in the last volume of Poincaré’s Scientific Work. This year, as we celebrate the 150th anniversary of Poincaré’s birth, his popularity has reached new summits in the scientific world and even among laymen. Chaos theory and the origins of special relativity have brought Poincaré’s name and picture to most popular science journals. But although several new books about Einstein have been added this year to an already long list, we are still waiting for a detailed biography of Poincaré. Presented here is an impressionistic introduction to Henri Poincaré, the man and the scientist.
