Initiatives as complexity theory and artificial life. Work led to a wide range of applications-and provided the main scientific foundations for such Through the mid-1980s, Wolfram continued his work on complexity, discovering a number of fundamentalĬonnections between computation and nature, and inventing such concepts as Major impact, and laid the groundwork for the emerging field that Wolfram called
This allowed him to make a series of startling discoveries about the origins of complexity. Wolfram's first key idea was to use computer experiments to study the behavior Wolfram then set out on an ambitious new direction in science aimed at understanding the origins ofĬomplexity in nature. In recognition of his early work in physics and computing, Wolfram became in 1981 the youngest Having started to use computers in 1973, Wolfram rapidly became a leader in the emergingįield of scientific computing, and in 1979 he began the construction ofĪlgebra system-which he released commercially in 1981. Wolfram's early scientific work was mainly inĬosmology, and included several now-classic Received his PhD in theoretical physics from Caltech by the Over the course of more than four decades, he has been a pioneer in the development and application of computational thinking-and has been responsible for many discoveries, inventions and innovations in science, technology and business.īorn in London in 1959, Wolfram was educated atįirst scientific paper at the age of 15, and had
