Here is an accurate and readable translation of a seminal article by Henri Poincaré that is a classic in the study of dynamical systems popularly called chaos theory. In an effort to understand the stability of orbits in the solar system, Poincaré applied a Hamiltonian formulation to the equations of planetary motion and studied these differential equations in the limited case of three bodies to arrive at properties of the equations’ solutions, such as orbital resonances and horseshoe orbits. Poincaré wrote for professional mathematicians and astronomers interested in celestial mechanics and differential equations. Contemporary historians of math or science and researchers in dynamical systems and planetary motion with an interest in the origin or history of their field will find his work fascinating. 

Henri Poincaré's work presents a profound exploration of the philosophy of science, articulating his insights into the nature of scientific inquiry and the role of mathematics in understanding the universe. Translated into English in 1913, it delves into the interplay between empirical observation and theoretical frameworks, highlighting Poincaré's influential ideas that shaped modern scientific thought. The text is a significant contribution to the philosophy of science, reflecting on the principles that govern scientific reasoning and discovery.

The narrative centers on Henri Poincaré's influential philosophical works, highlighting his major publications and the posthumous efforts to compile a fifth volume, "L'Opportunisme scientifique." Despite the project being well-supported by notable figures, it ultimately remained unpublished due to objections from Poincaré's heirs. This book aims to explore this significant episode, shedding light on Poincaré's editorial practices and the lasting impact of his philosophical ideas, as revealed through his correspondence stored in the Poincaré Archives.
