Rese�a del editor

Henri Poincar� is one of the most famous mathematicians and scientists of the last 500 years. He was a polymath who excelled in theoretical physics, engineering, philosophy, and mathematics.

Science and Method is Poincar�'s treatment of the philosophy of the scientific method. "If the scientist had an infinity of time at his disposal," He states, "It would be sufficient to say to him, 'Look, and look carefully.'" Since the scientist does not operate in infinity however, the author has written this textbook to assist in determining how best to proceed with scientific studies. The book is divided into five chapters that are interrelated and depend fairly heavily on one another. Topics covered include the selection of facts, mathematical discovery, the relativity of space, mathematics and logic, mechanics and radium, an examination of the Milky Way, and finally, French geodesy. Poincar� concludes this book with a brief summary that highlights the overarching conclusions of the text.

As a textbook and a resource guide, Science and Method is a great success. It is a highly readable treatment of the material, one that will appeal to those involved in all disciplines of science and mathematics. Henri Poincar� writes with a clarity that is rarely found in the works of such accomplished academics. This is a definitive work on the subject from one of the true geniuses of our time.

Science and Method is one of Poincar�'s most well read books, and with good reason. It is everything a good science book should be. Educational and illuminating, it still maintains a readability that few texts on the subject do. This book is highly recommended for anybody interested in furthering their knowledge of the scientific method.

Rese�a del editor

Henri Poincar was, by general agreement, the most eminent scientific man of his generation more eminent, one is tempted to think, than any man of science now living. From the mere variety of the subjects which he illuminated, there is certainly no one who can appreciate critically the whole of his work. Some conception of his amazing comprehensiveness may be derived from the obituary number of the Revue de Mitaphysique et de Morale (S eptember 1913), where, in the course of 130 pages, four eminent men a philosopher, a mathematician, an astronomer, and a physicist tell in outline the contributions which he made to their several subjects. In all we find the same characteristics swiftness, comprehensiveness, unexampled lucidity, and the perception of recondite but fertile analogies. Poincare sphilosophical writings, of which the present volume is a good example, are not those of a professional philosopher: they are the untrammelled reflections of a broad and cultivated mind upon the procedure and the postulates of scientific discovery.
