PROGRAMS FROM THE NOTES
This page gives access to the programs in the Notes at the end of A
New
Kind of Science. Included are both verbatim code from the book
and complete runnable functions with examples.
Run the programs to reproduce Wolfram's results from A New Kind
of Science--or to do your own experiments.
Study the programs to get insight into the concepts and methodology
of A New Kind of Science--or to understand more about the
powerful symbolic programming paradigm made possible by Mathematica.
