Bio: Ian Malcolm is a tall, strapping thirty-five-year-old man, with dark balding hair; depicted as an eccentric mathematician specializing in chaos theory at The University of Texas, and is the individual whom after the (fictional) Malcolm Effect (which supposedly describes the rapid catastrophic failing of a complex system) is named. Malcolm, using chaos theory, predicts from the very beginning that Jurassic Park will inevitably fail, because chaos theory says that complex systems, with certain conditions, cannot be controlled. One example he uses is the weather forecasting, conducted with computers.
Notes: Played by Jeff Goldblum in the movie and depicted in the image of Jeff Goldblum in the comic book series
