Dame Mary Lucy Cartwright DBE FRS FRSE (17 December 1900 – 3 April 1998) [1] was a British mathematician. She was one of the pioneers of what would later become known as chaos theory . [ 2 ] Along with J. E. Littlewood , Cartwright saw many solutions to a problem which would later be seen as an example of the butterfly effect .
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
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]

The De Morgan Medal is a prize for outstanding contribution to mathematics, awarded by the London Mathematical Society. The Society's most prestigious award, it is given in memory of Augustus De Morgan, who was the first President of the society. It is awarded every three years, usually to a mathematician living and working in the United ...
1949: American mathematician Gertrude Mary Cox became the first woman elected into the International Statistical Institute. [36] Also, Maria Laura Lopes obtained her PhD in Mathematics, being the first woman to obtain the title in Brazil. 1951: Mary Cartwright of Britain became the first female president of the Mathematical Association.

John Edensor Littlewood FRS (9 June 1885 – 6 September 1977) was a British mathematician. He worked on topics relating to analysis, number theory, and differential equations and had lengthy collaborations with G. H. Hardy, Srinivasa Ramanujan and Mary Cartwright.
Mathematics is essential in the natural sciences, engineering, medicine, finance, computer science, and the social sciences. Although mathematics is extensively used for modeling phenomena, the fundamental truths of mathematics are independent of any scientific experimentation.
