Making Programming Accessible to Everyone with the Wolfram Language

Stephen Wolfram
Wolfram Research
This talk will be presented outside the usual Wednesday time slot and is a bonus presentation. The lecture is optional for students enrolled in EE380 for credit and can be used in lieu of one of the other talks in the series, if desired. As with all EE380 talks, it will be video recorded and made available on YouTube.

About the talk:

Designed for the new generation of programmers, the Wolfram Language has a vast depth of built-in algorithms and knowledge, all automatically accessible through its elegant unified symbolic language. Scalable for programs from tiny to huge, with immediate deployment locally and in the cloud, the Wolfram Language builds on clear principles and 25+ years of development to create what promises to be the world's most productive and accessible programming language.

Additional information about the language can be found on the Wolfram Research website.
