Not Quite Copernicus.("A New Kind of Science")
A New Kind of Science, by Stephen Wolfram (Wolfram Media, 1,197 pp., $44.95)
I consider Stephen Wolfram to be a great benefactor of humanity. The foundation for this opinion is that I am a daily user of the Mathematica software package, Wolfram's brainchild and the source of his considerable fortune. This wonderful tool allows me to do experimental mathematics, of a type that would have been impossible as little as 15 years ago without much wearisome programming. I can try out formulas, conjectures, and theorems with actual numbers to see what they turn up; I can plot graphs in two and three dimensions; I can factorize, differentiate, integrate, solve equations, ...
