Chaos theorists

Mitchell Feigenbaum

Mitchell Jay Feigenbaum (December 19, 1944 – June 30, 2019) was an American mathematical physicist whose pioneering studies in chaos theory led to the discovery of the Feigenbaum constants. (Wikipedia).

Kenneth Brecher - The Sirius Enigmas Mathematical Tops - G4G14 Apr 2022

I have developed a set of four spinning tops based on four of the most important mathematical constants: φ, π, e and i. The tops are quite elegant, have different topological shapes and have unusual dynamical properties. Here, I discuss each of them separately, as well as a mathematical re
