"But its not that simple, argues Henri Poincare in the preface to Science and Hypothesis, his exposition on hypothesis and its place in the physical sciences. To doubt everything or to believe everything are two equally convenient solutions; both dispense with the necessity of reflection.
And so, in the interests of reflection, Poincare divides his treatise into four sections (Number and Magnitude, Space, Force, and Nature) and rigorously examines the development of:
mathematical reasoning
non-Euclidean geometries
the classical mechanics
relative and absolute motion
energy and thermodynamics
the calculus of probabilities
optics and electricity
electrodynamics
and much more.
Written as a series of nontechnical essays, Science and Hypothesis will especially be of interest to students of the history and philosophy of science.
French theoretical physicist, philosopher of science, and mathematician HENRI POINCARE (18541912) also wrote New Methods of Celestial Mechanics (189299) and Lessons of Celestial Mechanics. (190510)."
