2003 Japan Prize Winners Announced

Posted by michael on from the good-deeds-going-unpunished dept.

dpatil writes "The 2003 Japan Prize winners have been announced. James Yorke (who named the field of chaos theory) and Benoit Mandelbrot (father of fractals) will share the prize for "Creation of Universal Concepts in Complex Systems--Chaos and Fractals". Here is the citation. The Japan Prize is right up there after the Nobel Prize and the Fields Medal. A good article on Yorke and his research team at the University of Maryland appeared in the Washington Post"

    One time I met a guy too, can't remember his name but he was famous for something, or he worked somewhere special. He's not mentioned in this slashdot story but he might have been mentioned in another one, or he might know someone that was. Not only brilliant but a nice guy too.
