Stephen Wolfram Q&A, Mathematics & Computation: Episode 1

Stephen Wolfram answers audience questions about mathematics and computation as part of an ongoing livestream series.

Questions include: Is there anything you'd add to or subtract from A New Kind of Science? How feasible is it to create a computational model of a biological organism? Why do many old technical institutions use manual calculation rather than modern computational tools? How do you prove that 1+1=2? Can we do computation not based on silicon technology? What really is computation?
