Mary Cartwright [193] [194] Edward Lorenz [195] Poincaré's work on the three-body problem was the first discovered example of a chaotic dynamical system. Cartwright made the first mathematical analysis of dynamical systems with chaos. Lorenz introduced strange attractor notation. Cybernetics: Norbert Wiener [196]
Mary Cartwright (1900–1998), British mathematician, one of the first to analyze a dynamical system with chaos; María Andrea Casamayor (1700–1780), only 18th-century Spanish scientist whose work is still extant; Bettye Anne Case, American mathematician and historian of mathematics
The problems appealed to Littlewood and Mary Cartwright, and they worked on them independently during the next 20 years. [12] The problems that Littlewood and Cartwright worked on concerned differential equations arising out of early research on radar: their work foreshadowed the modern theory of dynamical systems.
In 1951, Mary Cartwright became the first female president of the Mathematical Association. [3] In the 1960s, when comprehensive education was being introduced, the Association was in favour of the 11-plus system.
