An English translation of a volume originally published only in Russian. The book was written by Jacques Hadamard on the work of Poincare, whose creation of a theory of automorphic functions in the early 1880s was one of the most significant mathematical achievements of the 19th century. It directly inspired the uniformization theorem, led to a class of functions adequate to solve all linear ordinary differential equations, and focused attention on a large new class of discrete groups.

An English translation of a volume originally published only in Russian. The book was written by Jacques Hadamard on the work of Poincare, whose creation of a theory of automorphic functions in the early 1880s was one of the most significant mathematical achievements of the 19th century. It directly inspired the uniformization theorem, led to a class of functions adequate to solve all linear ordinary differential equations, and focused attention on a large new class of discrete groups. It was the first significant application of non-Euclidean geometry. The implications of these discoveries continue to be important to this day in numerous different areas of mathematics.
