I will discuss some contributions of Henri Poincaré which have had a major impact on the development of PDEs in the 20th century; in particular, the solution of the Laplace equation, the spectral theory for the Laplacian, and much more. Poincaré also had prophetic insights about the role of PDEs within Mathematics.
