Stephen Wolfram ist ein visionärer Denker, der für seine tiefgreifende Erforschung der Natur der Berechnung und ihres Potenzials zur Neugestaltung unseres Weltverständnisses bekannt ist. Seine Arbeit konzentriert sich auf die Aufdeckung einfacher, universeller Prinzipien, die Komplexität in natürlichen und künstlichen Systemen steuern. Wolfram untersucht, wie unerwartete und weitreichende Ergebnisse aus diesen grundlegenden Regeln abgeleitet werden können, wodurch eine elegante Struktur unter verschiedenen Phänomenen aufgedeckt wird. Sein Ansatz ermutigt zur Neubewertung wissenschaftlicher Grundlagen und zur Entdeckung verborgener Verbindungen zwischen scheinbar zusammenhanglosen Bereichen.
Stephen Wolfram diskutiert die Auswirkungen der Mathematisierung auf die Wissenschaft und schlägt vor, Naturvorgänge eher als Computerprogramme denn als Differentialgleichungen zu betrachten. Im Gespräch mit Dietmar Dath erläutert er seine Entdeckungen und deren Bedeutung für verschiedene Disziplinen wie Evolutionsbiologie und Kognitionsforschung.
Wie die KI arbeitet und warum sie funktioniert
As the world's first and only full-scale computational language, the Wolfram Language represents a milestone in the development of programming languages that makes leading-edge computation accessible to everyone. Unique in its approach of building in vast knowledge and automation, the Wolfram Language scales from a single line of easy-to-understand interactive code to million-line production systems.This book provides an elementary introduction to the Wolfram Language and modern computational thinking. It assumes no prior knowledge of programming, and is suitable for both technical and non-technical college and middle-to-high-school students as well as anyone with an interest in the latest technology and its practical application.
Written by the creator of the system, The Mathematica Book includes both a tutorial introduction and complete reference information.
"Combinators have inspired ideas about computation ever since they were first invented in 1920, and in this innovative book, Stephen Wolfram provides a modern view of combinators and their significance. Informed by his work on the computational universe of possible programs and on computational language design, Wolfram explains new and existing ideas about combinators with unique clarity and stunning visualizations, as well as provides insights on their historical connections and the curious story of Moses Schèonfinkel, inventor of combinators. Though invented well before Turing machines, combinators have often been viewed as an inaccessibly abstract approach to computation. This book brings them to life as never before in a thought-provoking and broadly accessible exposition of interest across mathematics and computer science, as well as to those concerned with the foundations of formal and computational thinking, and with the history of ideas"--
Focusing on cellular automata and complexity, this collection of original papers offers an accessible exploration of a burgeoning scientific field. It highlights the significant implications of these concepts across various disciplines, including physics, biology, economics, and computer science. The work is particularly valuable for those interested in the intersections of science and its applications in understanding complex systems.
Collection of essays the author has written over the past dozen years for various occasions.
This book will be released simultaneously with Release 2.0 of Mathematica and will cover all the new features of Release 2.0. This new edition maintains the format of the original book and is the single most important user guide and reference for Mathematica--all users of Mathematica will need this edition. Includes 16 pages of full-color graphics.
