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.

Mary Lucy Cartwright (1900–1998) was a British mathematician who contributed to important advances in function theory and differential equations. Alongside John Littlewood, she was one of the first mathematicians to study what would later be known as Chaos Theory.

Dame Mary Lucy Cartwright (1900–1998) was one of the few twentieth century women to make significant inroads in the predominantly male world of mathematics. She contributed important advances in function theory and differential equations.

Littlewood on van der Pol’s equation, nonlinear os-cillators, and the development of topological tech-niques to prove existence theorems.
