Mitchell Feigenbaum passed away
On June 30, 2019, Mitchell Feigenbaum, one of the outstanding pioneers of chaos theory, died at the age of 74. In 1975 he discovered with an HP-65 calculator that the ratio of successive distances between bifurcation events tends to a constant value, which was later termed Feigenbaum constant. This was one of the founding events of chaos theory and nonlinear dynamics.
