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 .
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.
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]

George Neville Watson FRS FRSE (31 January 1886 – 2 February 1965) was an English mathematician, who applied complex analysis to the theory of special functions.His collaboration on the 1915 second edition of E. T. Whittaker's A Course of Modern Analysis (1902) produced the classic "Whittaker and Watson" text.
