Stephen Wolfram was born in London in 1959 to Hugo and Sybil Wolfram, both German Jewish refugees to the United Kingdom. [10] His maternal grandmother was British psychoanalyst Kate Friedlander. Wolfram's father, Hugo Wolfram, was a textile manufacturer and served as managing director of the Lurex Company—makers of the fabric Lurex. [11]
The basic subject of Wolfram's "new kind of science" is the study of simple abstract rules—essentially, elementary computer programs.In almost any class of a computational system, one very quickly finds instances of great complexity among its simplest cases (after a time series of multiple iterative loops, applying the same simple set of rules on itself, similar to a self-reinforcing cycle ...
On May 14, 2007, Wolfram announced a $25,000 prize to be won by the first person to prove or disprove the universality of the (2,3) Turing machine. [2] On 24 October 2007, it was announced that the prize had been won by Alex Smith, a student in electronics and computing at the University of Birmingham , for his proof that it was universal.
A physicist considers whether artificial intelligence can fix science, regulation, and innovation.
In 1987, Gray left a PhD program in theoretical chemistry at the University of California at Berkeley to work with Stephen Wolfram. In that same year, he co-founded Wolfram Research . [ 3 ] His initial work for the company involved creating the influential notebook user interface for Mathematica .
Wolfram Research, Inc. (/ ˈ w ʊ l f r əm / WUUL-frəm) is an American multinational company that creates computational technology. Wolfram's flagship product is the technical computing program Wolfram Mathematica, first released on June 23, 1988.
The Wolfram Language (/ ˈ w ʊ l f r əm / WUUL-frəm) is a proprietary, [7] general-purpose, very high-level multi-paradigm programming language [8] developed by Wolfram Research. It emphasizes symbolic computation , functional programming , and rule-based programming [ 9 ] and can employ arbitrary structures and data. [ 9 ]
Sybil Wolfram (born Sybille Misch; 1 July 1931 – 26 July 1993) [1] was an English philosopher and writer, of Austrian Jewish origin. She studied at Somerville College, Oxford and was a Fellow and Tutor in philosophy at Lady Margaret Hall at University of Oxford from 1964 to 1993.
