Obituary for Norman J. Zabusky
Norman Zabusky, a pioneer in some of the most extraordinary developments in “experimental mathematics” and nonlinear science, passed away on 5 February 2018. Norman played a major role in computational fluid dynamics and the importance of visualization. Most notably, however, he was a co-discoverer, along with Martin Kruskal, of the “soliton”, a robust, coherent localized solution of certain classes of nonlinear partial differential equations — a discovery that created a new paradigm.
