I’m a big fan on Stephen Wolfram and his efforts in building Mathematica and pushing forward his approach to scientific discovery, A New Kind of Science. In a recent post, Popular Science editor Mark Jannot talks to Wolfram about big data, human understanding, and the origin of the universe. Here’s just on back-and-forth between Jannot

I really like Stephen Wolfram’s book A New Kind of Science (or NKS for short) – on how simple computational programs can create amazingly complex things. I’m also really enamored with the iPad (I’ve written about it before a number of times…). Now, two of my favorite things are coming together – Wolfram’s NKS is

Stephen Wolfram recently gave a talk about his efforts to understand the universe around us through computation. He’s the CEO and founder of Wolfram Research, creator of Mathematica, and author of A New Kind of Science. Wolfram recently launches his computational knowledge engine, Wolfram|Alpha (I wrote a post about its launch some time back…). Here’s the video

I ran across a post by Erick Schonfeld on TechCrunch about Microsoft’s Bing search engine licensing search data from Wolfram|Alpha. Might not be much of a big deal, but I think the Wolfram|Alpha concept is pretty cool… While Google and Bing provide you websites that have the search phrase that you are looking for, Wolfram|Alpha takes your search

In our fast paced world, it seems that every new technology gets overturned every few years or so. Just look at social networking – it used to be MySpace, then Facebook, now it’s Twitter (I’m sure by the time I publish this column, Twitter will even be passé…) But there has (at least for the

Today is scheduled to be the day for the launch of Wolfram|Alpha – a new computational knowledge engine based upon some of Stephen Wolfram’s new scientific works. I personally think that Stephen Wolfram’s ideas are fascinating, and could very well lead to new technologies and a greater understanding of what is possible. Wolfram represents one
