It seems that Henri Poincaré wrote his thesis almost casually during his second and third year at the École des Mines. Using the method of characteristics the problems for first order partial differential equations can be reduced to n-dimensional nonlinear ODEs with singularities. His supervisors were not very happy with the first version, there we...
In 1885, it was announced by Gösta Mittag-Leffler, professor of mathematics in Stockholm, that King Oscar II of Sweden and Norway sponsored a scientific competition for his 60th birthday in 1889. Essays had to be handed in by June 1, 1888. Problem 1 of the four topics was: Dirichlet communicated to a friend that he could solve the equations describ...
Early examples in the theory of rotating fluid masses (MacLaurin, Jacobi, Dirichlet, Dedekind, Riemann, 1750–1850) suggested bifurcation phenomena. The 2-axial and 3-axial ellipsoidal fluid shapes that were found to exist for self-gravitating fluid masses change with the rotation velocity. At a certain velocity the ellipsoidal fluid breaks up (bifu...
