No, that was not my intention.

But I had the idea, that mathematicians mainly think in terms of 
mathematics. But math and physics are not the same thing.

Poincaré was actually an extremly good mathematician.

And I was personally unable to understand most of his work.

But Poincaré wasn't my topic, anyhow, hence I noticed Poincare and tried 
to read a bit of 'Sur le dynamic d'electron' in  French.

Unfortunately I cannot speak French good enough, only a little bit.

His math is also way too difficult for me.

I have read a few papers about Poincare, hence I know a litle bit about 
his work from second sources. But that's more or less it.
