At a tender age, Poincar� established his authority in questions of celestial mechanics, and his views were soon sought after on a vast array of questions by the leading astronomers and geodesists of his time, including C.V.L. Charlier, G.H. Darwin, H. Faye, F.R. Helmert, G. W. Hill, A. Lindstedt, A.M. Liapunov, N. Lockyer, S. Newcomb, K. Schwarzschild, and F. Tisserand. Poincar� and his correspondents take up topics ranging from the three-body problem and perturbation theory to the determination of the geoide and the equilibrium figures of rotating fluid masses. The volume also sheds light on Poincar�'s three terms as president of the Bureau of Longitudes, where he guided French astronomy and geodesy through ambitious projects, such as the measurement of an arc of meridian near Quito.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e------\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLes lettres du troisi�me volume de la Correspondance de Poincar� scandent toute son \u003cb\u003eoeuvre\u003c\/b\u003e astronomique, allant de ses premiers m�moires sur les courbes d�finies par une �quation diff�rentielle (1881), jusqu'aux analyses des hypoth�ses cosmogoniques (1911). Encore tr�s jeune, Poincar� s'est fait remarquer pour sa ma�trise des questions de la m�canique c�leste, de tel sorte que les astronomes et les g�od�siens l'ont souvent interpell�, y compris O. Callandreau, C.V.L. Charlier, G.H. Darwin, F.R. Helmert, A. Lindstedt, A.M. Lyapunov, Simon Newcomb, Karl Schwarzschild et F. Tisserand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAvec ses correspondants, Poincar� abordaient les questions principales de l'astronomie math�matique, du c�l�bre probl�me des trois corps � la th�orie des perturbations et aux figures d'�quilibre des masses fluides en rotation. La correspondance de Poincar� �dit�e et annot�e dans ce volume concerne, au-del� des m�moires math�matiques, l'activit� de Poincar� en tant que Professeurd'astronomie math�matique et de m�canique c�leste � la Sorbonne, r�dacteur en chef du\u003ci\u003eBulletin astronomique\u003c\/i\u003e, et membre du Bureau des longitudes, que Poincar� a pr�sid� � trois reprises. Sa correspondance illumine, dans ce dernier cadre, la r�alisation de la mesure d'un arc de m�ridien � Quito, et le r�glement d'un diff�rend franco-brittanique � propos de la diff�rence de longitude entre Greenwich et Paris.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Birkhauser","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47780510138519,"sku":"9783764371678","price":14690.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783764371678.webp?v=1778045816","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/la-correspondance-entre-henri-poincare-les-astronomes-et-les-geodesiens-9783764371678","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
