Poincare's Odds
Titre :
Poincare's OddsSujet :
Théorie des probabilitésDescription :
This paper is devoted to Poincare's work in probability. Though the subject does not represent a large part of the mathematician's achievements, it provides signicant insight into the evolution of Poincare's thought on several important matters such as the changes in physics implied by statistical mechanics and molecular theories. After having drawn the general historical context of this evolution, I focus on several important steps in Poincare's texts dealing with probability theory, and eventually consider how his legacy was developed by the next generation.Créateur :
