Henri Poincaré (mathematician)
Henri Poincaré was a renowned French mathematician and scientist known for his pioneering contributions to areas like topology, which studies spaces and shapes, and chaos theory, which examines unpredictable systems. His work helped lay the foundation for modern mathematics and physics, including the theory of relativity. Poincaré also made important advances in celestial mechanics, explaining the motion of planets and moons. His insights connected mathematics to the natural world, shaping how we understand complex systems and the underlying structure of the universe.
