Summary:

On April 7-10, 1980, the American Mathematical Society sponsored a Symposium on the Mathematical Heritage of Henri Poincari, held at Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana. This work presents the written versions of all but three of the invited talks presented at this Symposium. It contains 2 papers by invited speakers who aren't able to attend.
