Stephen Wolfram (born 1959) is an independent physicist, mathematician, and the founder of Wolfram Research, Inc., a successful software company that sells software programs for scientific research and publications; its flagship product is Mathematica, a programming language designed for technical computation. His company hosts the free MathWorld, an online encyclopedia of mathematics.[1] Eric Weisstein is the major designer of MathWorld, along with contributions by many others worldwide.
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.
