Episode 392: Stephen Wolfram on Mathematica

Stephen Wolfram, creator of Mathematica and Wolfram Alpha discusses the wolfram language, which is behind both projects. Host Adam Gordon Bell spoke with Stephen Wolfram about computing, computational essays, building a language, notebook-based computing, and teaching children how to code. Stephen discusses the origin story behind Mathematica and why it is so unique and sometimes considered unusual. He explains why mixing prose, code, and data together in one integrated environment is the future of computing and communication, and how his ideas inspired Jupyter notebooks. #podcast #seradio #ieeecs @ComputerSociety @stephen_wolfram
