  Lorenz, Edward Norton (1917-)
In Lorenz's meteorological computer modeling, he discovered the underlying mechanism of deterministic chaos: simply-formulated systems with only a few variables can display highly complicated behavior that is unpredictable.
Using his digital computer, culling through reams of printed numbers and simple strip chart plots of the variables, he saw that slight differences in one variable had profound effects on the outcome of the whole system.
In his famous 1963 paper Lorenz picturesquely explains that a butterfly flapping its wings in Beijing could affect the weather thousands of miles away some days later.

  Edward Norton Lorenz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Edward Norton Lorenz (born May 23, 1917) is an American mathematician and meteorologist, and an early pioneer of the chaos theory.
Lorenz built a mathematical model of the way air moves around in the atmosphere.
Lorenz went on to explore the underlying mathematics and published his conclusions in a seminal work in titled Deterministic Nonperiodic Flow, in which he described a relatively simple system of equations that resulted in a pattern of infinite complexity, the Lorenz attractor.
