Henri Poincaré

Opis

In this enlightening work, Henri Poincaré argues that intuition and prediction are crucial to scientific work and that convention plays a significant role. He was a member of the Académie française and one of the most influential mathematicians and physicists of the 19th and 20th centuries. This thought-provoking work, initially published in French as three separate essays, is presented in Poincaré's elegant prose style and is a must-read for anyone interested in the history and philosophy of science.
