Reviews
From the reviews: With this book, Verhulst did a marvelous job in sketching not only the person of Henri Poincare, but also by restricting to ... the differential equations and dynamical systems, among the diverse subjects that Poincare worked on, he succeeds very well in communicating the essence of what the theory is about. ... This is a book obviously interesting for historians of mathematics, but also for any mathematician ... who want to catch a glimpse of the person and the mind of a genius. (A. Bultheel, The European Mathematical Society, October, 2012)

Bultheel, The European Mathematical Society, October, 2012) Henri Poincare (1854-1912) is arguably one of the two greatest mathematicians of the late-19th and early-20th centuries. ... The volume is roughly divided into two parts: the first part is an account of Poincare's life, with particular focus on his professional exploits; the second is a discussion of many aspects of his mathematics. The latter strongly emphasizes differential equations, dynamical systems, and mathematical physics ... . Summing Up: Recommended. Mathematics and history of science collections serving upper-division undergraduates through faculty. (S. J. Colley, Choice, Vol. 50 (7), March, 2013)
