H. PoincareJules Henri Poincaré was a French mathematician, philosopher of science, engineer, and theorist of physics. He was born on April 29, 1854, and died on July 17, 1912. He is often called a "polymath," and in mathematics, he is called "The Last Universaist" because he did well in all areas of mathematics as they were at the time. As a mathematician and physicist, he made many original and important contributions to pure and applied mathematics, mathematical physics, and celestial mechanics. Poincaré was born in the neighborhood of Cité Ducale in Nancy, Meurthe-et-Moselle, France. He was part of a powerful French family. His father, Léon Poincaré, taught medicine at the University of Nancy from 1828 to 1892. His younger sister Aline married Émile Boutroux, a spiritual thinker. Raymond Poincaré, Henri's cousin, was President of France from 1913 to 1920 and Prime Minister of France three times between 1913 and 1929. Poincaré was also a member of the Académie française.
