Stephen Wolfram (born August 29, 1959 in London) is a scientist known for his work in theoretical particle physics, cellular automata and computer algebra, and is the creator of the computer program Mathematica.
Early life
Wolfram's father, Hugo Wolfram, was a novelist and his mother, Sybil Wolfram, was a professor of philosophy at Oxford. Wolfram was educated at Eton public school. Often described as a child prodigy, he published an article on particle physics at age 16 and entered Oxford University (St John's College) at age 17. He received his Ph.D. in particle physics from Caltech at age 20 and joined the faculty there.

@jurgenappelo Once proudly told someone "I've been insulted by Stephen Wolfram." He said, "That's the same as saying you've met him."
