	About Stephen Wolfram
		Born in London in 1959, Wolfram was educated at Eton, Oxford, and Caltech.
		Wolfram himself used his ideas to develop a new randomness generation system and a new approach to computational fluid dynamics--both of which are now in widespread use.
		Wolfram is also increasingly active in defining new directions for education, especially in the science he has created.

	Wired 10.06: The Man Who Cracked The Code to Everything ...
		Wolfram himself considers it the logical next step from earlier scientific revolutions, each of which disabused humanity of the notion that there is something "special" about our species and its place in the scheme of things.
		Wolfram also began to build a case that the same mechanisms that determined the outcome of cellular-automata experiments were omnipresent in nature itself.
		Wolfram's theory that there is a single rule at the heart of everything - a single simple algorithm that, in effect, generates all the rules of physics and everything else - is bound to be one of his most controversial claims, a theory that even some of his close friends in physics aren't buying.

		Marriage and children have smoothed Wolfram's rough spots over the years, and a big pile of money probably didn't hurt: He made millions off his development of the Mathematica software program, a versatile program that is used by millions, most of them scientists and engineers who use it to do symbolic and numerical mathematics.

	Stephen Wolfram, A New Kind of Science
		As is well-known (if only from his own publicity), Wolfram was a child prodigy in mathematics, who got his Ph.D. in theoretical physics at a tender age, and then, in the early and mid-1980s, was part of a wave of renewed interest in the subject of cellular automata.
		Wolfram displays absolutely no understanding of evolution, or what would be necessary to explain the adaptation of organisms to their environments.
		What Wolfram wants to claim is that, since one universal computer is equivalent to another, by studying the behavior of one we learn things which are true of all others (true), therefore Rule 110 is as complex as anything in the universe, and all intelligent life, including, perhaps, the gods must have much in common.

	Wolfram speaking here on claim to have discovered new kind of science
		The London-born Wolfram, who earned his doctorate in theoretical physics at Caltech at age 20 and, a year later in 1981, became the youngest recipient of the MacArthur Foundation "genius" award, began dabbling in cellular automata in the 1980s and publishing research papers on them as he worked to develop a theory of complexity.
		Unlike most computer scientists, however, Wolfram is not concerned with the input and outputs of a computation, but rather with the "trajectory" of the computation, Lenore Blum said.
		He was troubled that Wolfram didn't provide direct citations to previous research and that he peppered the work with phrases such as "My guess is...," "I suspect that...," and "I believe that..." rather than providing evidence.

	Stephen Wolfram - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Stephen Wolfram (born August 29, 1959 in London) is a scientist known for his work in theoretical particle physics, cellular automata, complexity theory, and computer algebra, and is the creator of the computer program Mathematica.
		Wolfram's father, Hugo Wolfram, was a novelist and his mother, Sybil Wolfram, was a professor of philosophy at Oxford.
		In 1986 Wolfram left the Institute for Advanced Study for the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where he founded their Center for Complex Systems Research and started to develop the computer algebra system Mathematica, which was first released in 1988, when he left academia.

		Wolfram: I talked about exploring the computational world and what it means for the future of science and technology.
		Wolfram: Whenever we see very complicated or seemingly random behavior, we can ask what its origin is. And what we learn from "A New Kind of Science" is that it can be much simpler than we might imagine.
		Wolfram: There will be a part of computer science that's much more like natural science — systematically exploring the whole computational world, not just building specific engineering structures.

	Eric Wolfram's Businesses: Not Wolfram Research
		I understand from Stephen Wolfram's Biography that he is a genius.
		I believe that a single web address can accomplish all that Dr. Stephen Wolfram needs to say -- his views on what science will be like this new milinium, his thoughts on creating machines that think, our hopes of finding extraterrestrial intelligence, and his views on changing the way basic science is organized.
		So I decided to base the price on Dr. Wolfram's net worth (I figured $100,000 was a fair point to start), and, in addition, I decided to ask for perpetual use of the email addresses eric@wolfram.org, eric@wolfram.com, and the web domains eric.wolfram.com and eric.wolfram.org.

	A New Kind of Science: The NKS Forum - Where can I find physics research by wolfram?
		Wolfram’s discussion of the combinatorial structure posets as a basis of space-time leads me to believe than he is trying to create a bridge from CAs to Lee Smolin’s work in loop quantum gravity; Smolin is one of the scientists acknowledged at the beginning of NKS.
		I agree that wolfram's approach is very raw and hasn't probably made any achievements yet, though is almost identical to the spin network envisioned by Penrose in that it follows the basic node rules.
		While Wolfram was my dominant scientific influence in the Eighties, I have found John Baez’s work with category theory and physics more useful in the Nineties.

	Enhancing the Searching of Mathematics
		Their users are primarily academic researchers, and their users interests are strongly biased toward the apparatus of scholarship: access to the peer-reviewed literature, citations, abstracts, and bibliographies.
		Research indicates that most users of search engines don't bother to inform themselves about the subtleties of the query language, nor do they use even basic features very often if they can't be learned quickly and remembered easily.
		Researchers and developers should better inform themselves of SMET community requirements at all levels from elementary education through advanced research.

	IT Conversations: Stephen Wolfram
		On the frontier of complexity science since he was a boy, Wolfram is a champion of cellular automata--256 "programs" governed by simple nonmathematical rules.
		Wolfram wrote the book in a distinct style meant to make it easy to read, even for nontechies; a basic familiarity with logic is helpful but not essential.
		Wolfram says he believes that "no system can ever carry out explicit computations that are more sophisticated than those carried out by systems like cellular automata and Turing machines." Um, that sounds fair.

	Jul 31 - Wolfram Offers Polynomial Control Systems for Mathematica (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		CHAMPAIGN, Illinois, July 31, 2006 - The new Polynomial Control Systems from Wolfram Research further expands the functionality of Control System Professional Suite (CSPS), an extensible framework of tightly integrated Mathematica application packages that provides an object-oriented environment for solving the common control problems that arise in engineering, science, economics, and finance.
		New objects for system matrices in polynomial and state-space forms, as well as left- and right-matrix-fraction descriptions that are seamlessly incorporated with state-space and transfer-function objects in Control System Professional, add another dimension to the proven CSPS environment.
		Polynomial Control Systems is the result of the collaboration of Wolfram Research with the late Professor Neil Munro, a Fellow of the IEEE and the IEE, and head of the Control Systems Centre at the University of Manchester.
