FOM: Wolfram talk

[Stephen G Simpson]

Wolfram Inc is the software company that markets Mathematica, a
symbolic math package.  Today a guy from Wolfram Inc wrote to me
pointing out the existence of a talk by Stephen Wolfram with
``Foundations of Mathematics'' in the title.  Would anyone care to
read this and review it for FOM?

 Dear Prof. Simpson:
 
 Readers of the FOM mailing list may be interested in a talk that
 Stephen Wolfram gave in August 1999 entitled "Foundations of
 Mathematics and Mathematica".
 
 There is a transcript of the talk at
 http://www.stephenwolfram.com/publications/talks/IMS/imstalk.html
 
 The talk contains hints of material from part of Dr. Wolfram's
 long-awaited magnum opus "A New Kind of Science"  (

 Sincerely,
