Edward Lorenz & The Chaos Theory

My powerpoint presentation was on Edward Lorenz and his contribution to modern meteorology. At first Edward was a mathematician but after coming from WWII helping as a meteorologist he knew meteorology was a passion. He studied at MIT, Harvard and Dartmouth, and was a professor at MIT. Edward and many others contributed to the chaos theory; scientifically unpredictable surprises, things that can't be graphed. In the chaos theory there are six principles; the butterfly effect, unpredictability, mixing, feedback, order/disorder, and fractals. Edward saw that weather forecasting was extremely difficult due to the simple fact that there are too many factors that make it impossible to correctly predict the outcome of weather patterns. He created some formulas that show us the movement of air in the atmosphere, when graphed creates a lorenz attractor. This makes weather forecasting possible and more precise.
