Edward Lorenz, 1917-2008

Edward Lorenz, most famous for research concerning the sensitivity of high-level outcomes to seemingly insubstantial variations in initial conditions (the so-called “butterfly effect“ [link to http://www.cmp.caltech.edu/~mcc/chaos_new/Lorenz.html no longer works] ), died April 16 in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Much more information concerning Lorenz’s life and work is available via Wikipedia.
