Happy birthday Mitchell Feigenbaum! Born in New York City in 1944, Feigenbaum attended the City College of New York and MIT, where he earned a PhD in physics. In 1975, when he was a staff physicist at Los Alamos National Lab, Feigenbaum used his HP-65 calculator to discover remarkable regularity in seemingly chaotic dynamical systems -- specifically, period-doubling bifurcations. Feigenbaum went on to make more discoveries in a field that became known as chaos theory.
