Stephen Wolfram (born 1959) is an independent physicist and mathematician who engages in research outside of the university system and was the founder of ''Mathematica'', a successful software company that sells programs for writing and graphing equations in physics and mathematics. His company Wolfram Research helped establish the free MathWorld, which states that it is the "web's most extensive mathematics resource."<ref>http://mathworld.wolfram.com/</ref>. [[Eric Weisstein]] is the major designer of MathWorld, along with contributions by many others worldworld.
After two years of intense work, Wolfram published ''A New Kind of Science'' in 2002 in which he turned to [[cellular automata]] for insights in science. This was a popular success but met with a mixed reaction by other scientists and mathematicians. The book has not generated much change in the direction of science but remains a valuable resource.
