Stephen Wolfram Speaks at Library of Congress Sept
4, 11 A
Stephen Wolfram has an incredible record of innovation, ranging
from his early work in cellular automata through his development of
Mathematica (25 years old this year), and more recently the
publication of the book "A New Kind of Science" and the
creation of Wolfram Alpha, a unique networked based computation and
information retrieval resource.
He will be giving a public address at the Coolidge Auditorium at
the Library of Congress on September 4 at 11AM. Advanced registration
is required. I've reproduced the announcement below with the link for
registration. This talk will launch a series of Innovation Talks
that are being sponsored by the Library of Congress FEDLINK.
I have had the opportunity to hear Wolfram on several occasions
and have found him to be both fascinating and deeply
thought-provoking. This is a great opportunity to hear one of the
genuine innovators of our time.
