Henri Poincaré (1854-1912) is universally known as a mathematician, but like Gauss, he was also an exceptional physicist. He covered all fields: mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, quanta, and radioactivity. His main contributions were the introduction of the notion of chaos and, of course, his contribution to relativity. Poincaré's contribution to the philosophy of science is of great depth and also deserves to be analyzed from the perspective of the new ideas introduced in physics. It is this Poincaré the physicist that we discover in this book, and to restore his intellectual approach as faithfully as possible, the authors have relied on original texts.
