One of my favourite websites that I check on a daily basis is... ...and on this particular day (December 19) I saw that Mitchell Jay Feigenbaum was born in 1944. Here is his direct Bio no matter what day "today" is... I found his Bio to be significant for this forum because it mentions his work on HP calculators - with the HP-65 being mentioned in particular. Enjoy!

Thanks! it's great to know eminent users of HP calculators. Does the professor know this forum exists? :-)

Quote:I don't know. It was a great read, wasn't it? I've never heard of the Feigenbaum Number before, and it was neat learning about it.

Done. I invited the professor to visit us at the Museum :-)

Checkout this past MoHPC thread that discusses programming methods that Feigenbaum might have used. http://www.hpmuseum.org/cgi-sys/cgiwrap/hpmuseum/archv014.cgi?read=57727 and
