+ - Edward Lorenz dead at 90->

Submitted by Unlikely_Hero
Unlikely_Hero writes "Edward Lorenz, considered one of the fathers of chaos theory, died of cancer Wednesday, April 16th at the age of 90. Lorenz was a meteorologist by trade but always loved numbers and in 1972 presented his paper "Predictability: Does the Flap of a Butterfly's Wings in Brazil Set Off a Tornado in Texas?" which, along with the shape of the Lorenz accelerator, gave birth to the term "butterfly effect".
Dr. Lorenz, you will be sorely missed."

USENET would be a better laboratory is there were more labor and less oratory. -- Elizabeth Haley
