Description
Science and Method by Henri Poincare. Translated by Francis Maitland with a preface by the Hon. Bertrand Russell FRS.
"Henri Poincare s Science and Method is an examination of the process scientists go through when determining which of the countless facts before them will be most useful in advancing scientific knowledge. In this highly readable text first published in 1908 and here presented in a 1914 translation Poincare investigates mathematics, logic, physics, mechanics, and astronomy and discusses how the methods of selection differ with each field. Topics discussed include:   the selection of facts   the future of mathematics   chance   the relativity of space   mathematics and logic   mechanics and radium   mechanics and optics   the new mechanics and astronomy   the Milky Way and the theory of gases   and much more. French theoretical physicist, philosopher of science, and mathematician HENRI POINCARE (1854 1912) also wrote New Methods of Celestial Mechanics (1892 99) and Lessons of Celestial Mechanics. (1905 10)."
