Stephen Wolfram is a British-American computer scientist, physicist, and entrepreneur best known for founding Wolfram Research and creating Mathematica and the computational knowledge engine Wolfram|Alpha. A child prodigy, he published scientific papers in physics by the age of 15 and earned his Ph.D. from Caltech at 20. He later developed A New Kind of Science, proposing that simple computational rules can explain complex phenomena in nature. Wolfram has been a pioneer in symbolic computation, computational thinking, and AI. His work continues to influence science, education, and technology.
