Book synopsis

More than any other writer of the twentieth century, Henri Poincare brought the elegant, but often complicated, ideas about science and mathematics to the general reader. A genius who throughout his life solved mathematical calculations in his head and a writer gifted with an inimitable style, Henri Poincare rose to the challenge of interpreting the philosophy of science to scientists and nonscientists alike. He was the Carl Sagan of his time and his prose is lucid and welcoming.This volume collects his three most important books: Science and Hypothesis (1903); The Value of Science (1905); and Science and Method (1908). These books are sporadically available in inferior editions. The ML edition will be the first time his works have been collected.
