Edward N Lorenz- the pioneer of Chaos theory 1917 -2008 Edward N Lorenz, The essence of Chaos (U. or Washington press. 1993, 227 pp) “I have always told my students, when they are writing up some of their work, to allow much more time than they think they can possibly need- at least a month in the case of a thesis. In trying to write a clear explanation of some point that you think you understand, you may discover that you do not understand it well enough to explain it, and you may need to spend quite a while to think it through… This advice applies to teachers as well as to students. In my case, in trying to understand then explain to the reader how the two surfaces could merge…. I realized that the surfaces – not just the curves – must fail to merge; …My final conclusion, now thoroughly substantiated, was that the surfaces were really infinite in number; as we say now, the attractor was strange. I never guessed at the time that this attractor would for a while, much later, become the feature of the paper that would draw the most attention. ”

George Orwell: Politics and the English Language 1. Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print. 2. Never use a long word where a short one will do. 3. If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out. 4. Never use the passive where you can use the active. 5. Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word, or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent. 6. Break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous.
