I remember when Mathematica came on the scene in 1988. It worked on a Macintosh and was far beyond any math program that came before. Stephen Wolfram, the founder and CEO of the Wolfram Research, got ...

Even if you're not into exotic subjects such as particle physics, cosmology, or math theory, chances are pretty good that you know about Mathematica, the program created by physicist Stephen Wolfram.

Physics prodigy turned software entrepreneur Stephen Wolfram can fairly claim to have revolutionized the math software niche with the 1988 launch of Mathematica, and that must have given him a taste ...

Stephen Wolfram doesn’t blog much, but when he does he makes it count. On November 13, 2013, Wolfram sat down at his Mac and promised that the new computer language he created would be his “most ...

Stephen Wolfram, creator of Wolfram Alpha and Mathematica, has released his analysis of data around his personal life collected over the past 20 years. Stephen Wolfram, creator of Wolfram Alpha and ...

Stephen Wolfram – the physicist who created Mathematica – reflects on how this computational tool has changed in 30 years, and on the practical and conceptual role that computational thinking plays in ...

At 22, Stephen Wolfram already had a great career as a physicist. So why did he ditch the academic life to make software? He didn't really like school, and he didn't really like doing calculations.

Stephen Wolfram’s visualizing software Mathematica stands high on the list of stuff a serious scientist must have. But there’s a mad scientist in us all, and for Wolfram the madness apparently is over ...

Stephen Wolfram is a man of many talents. As an inventor, he created Mathematica, a computational software program used by universities and governments worldwide; later in life, he developed Wolfram ...

Stephen Wolfram is, strictly speaking, a high school and college dropout: He left both Eton and Oxford early, citing boredom. At 20, he received his doctorate in theoretical physics from Caltech and ...

"It's hard to foresee the ultimate consequences of what we're doing. But the beginning is to provide a way to inject sophisticated computation and knowledge into everything — and to make it ...

The home page is nearly blank. At the center, just below a colorful logo, you'll find an empty data field. Type in a phrase, hit Return, and knowledge appears. No, it's not Google. It's Wolfram|Alpha, ...
