Edward Lorenz demonstrated the "butterfly effect" in 1963. We all know the "big daddy" of chaos is Mandelbrot and the Mandelelbrot set. There were other trail blazers to where that branch of mathematics (much derided at the time) got to today though.

Actually, chaos was first demonstrated by the Finnish mathematician P. J. Myrberg. Mandelbrot acknowledged this as Feigenbaum was getting all the credit.
