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 .
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 ...

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.
1966: American mathematician Mary L. Boas published Mathematical Methods in the Physical Sciences, which was still widely used in college classrooms as of 1999. [48] [49] [50] 1968: Mary Cartwright of Britain became the first woman to be given the De Morgan Medal, the London Mathematical Society’s premier award. [51] [45]
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]
