Page 35 - On peut s'étonner de voir invoquer la sensibilité à propos de démonstrations mathématiques qui, semble-t-il, ne peuvent intéresser que l'intelligence. Ce serait oublier le sentiment de la beauté mathématique, de l'harmonie des nombres et des formes, de l'élégance géométrique. C'est un vrai sentiment esthétique 1 que tous les vrais mathématiciens connaissent.

Page 34 - We had hoped that we might again have heard from his mouth some such luminous address as that which he gave at Rome ; but it was not to be, and the loss of France in his death affects the whole world. It was in 1900 that, as president of the Royal Astronomical Society, I had the privilege of handing to Poincare the medal of the Society, and I then attempted to give an appreciation of his work on the theory of the tides, on figures of equilibrium of rotating fluid and on the problem of the three bodies....
Page 35 - Poincare' s account, in the chapter from which I have already quoted, of the manner in which he proceeded in attacking a mathematical problem. He describes the unconscious working of the mind, so that his conclusions appeared to his conscious self as revelations from another world. I suspect that we have all been aware of something of the same sort, and like Poincare have also found that the revelations were not always to be trusted. Both the pure and the applied mathematician are in search of truth,...
