Edward Norton Lorenz was an American mathematician and meteorologist best known for his pioneering work in chaos theory and for developing the concept of the "butterfly effect." Born on May 23, 1917, and passing away on April 16, 2008, Lorenz's research revolved around how small changes in initial conditions can lead to vastly different outcomes in complex systems, particularly in weather forecasting.
