Reflections and Rants from the Entreprenerd, Dan Hanson

Stephen Wolfram is a brilliant scientist.  He is best know for creating Mathematica Software which still is the premier tool for symbolic programming.

 

Wolfram gave a keynote address at Comdex this year and jokingly (at least I think he was joking) gave the exact date of the economic recovery.  Knowing this guy and his computer models I wouldn’t bet against his prediction.

 

If you are the type who likes meta-mathematics then check out A New Kind of Science, his 1200 page tome that brings his complexity theory to all kinds of disciplines.
