First appearance of Poincaré's report on 1910 Bolyai Prize which was awarded to David Hilbert in recognition of his work in fields of invariant theory, transcendent number (e constant after Lindemann), arithmetic, the (Hilbert-)Waring theorem, geometry, integral equations and the Dirichlet’s principle.In 1910, Hilbert became only the second winner of the Bolyai Prize of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. It was the recognition of the fact that Hilbert was one of the leading mathematicians of his time. The first winner of the prize in 1905 was Henri Poincare, the most prolific mathematician of the 19th century.Poincaré about the works and achievements of David Hilbert in fields of invariant theory, transcendent number (e constant after Lindemann), arithmetic, the (Hilbert-)Waring theorem, geometry, integral equations and the Dirichlet’s principle.
