Stephen Wolfram, the founder of Wolfram Research, is the author of the
remarkable and controversial "A New Kind of Science". Wolfram received
his Ph.D. in theoretical physics in 1979 at the age of 20, having
already made lasting contributions to particle physics and cosmology.
In 1981 his work was recognized by a MacArthur award. In the early
1980s he made a series of classic discoveries about systems known as
cellular automata, which have yielded many new insights in physics,
mathematics, computer science, biology, and other fields. In 1986 he
founded Wolfram Research, Inc. and began the creation of Mathematica,
now the world's leading software system for technical computing and
symbolic programming, and the tool that made A New Kind of Science
possible. Over the past decade Wolfram has divided his time between
the leadership of his company and his pursuit of basic science.
