Stephen Wolfram Radio Lecture

Posted by timothy on Sunday July 13, 2003 @03:39PM from the stuff-to-stick-in-your-ear dept.

Stephen Wolfram, subject of much discussion here, once known solely as the creator of Mathematica, now also known as the author of A New Kind of Science (/. review here), gave a lecture at Boston University this past spring on that book's subject matter. The audio of the lecture was broadcast this evening on the program World of Ideas on WBUR-FM out of Boston. If you don't live in the Boston area, if you missed the program, or if like me you were listening in your car while driving and found that two activites incompatible, the hour-long recording is also available for download in RealMedia format.

Shouldn't you instead give us an automaton that will generate it?

Mr. and Mrs. Wolfram did that.
