Alfred Gray (October 22, 1939 – October 27, 1998) was an American mathematician whose main research interests were in differential geometry. He also made contributions in the fields of complex variables and differential equations. (Wikipedia).
Gray Jeremy "Poincaré on understanding mathematics"
Résumé Throughout his working life Henri Poincaré was concerned to promote the understanding of mathematics and physics. This is as apparent in his views about geometry, his conventionalism, and his theory of knowledge, as it is in his work on electricity and optics, on number theory, and
