Abstract

This talk was given 10 years ago. What it says still stands, but there is now quite a bit more to say. In the 10 years that have passed, much has been done in the exploration of the computational universe, both theoretically, and in applications, particularly in technology. (One notable result, already suspected a decade ago, is a proof of the simplest universal Turing machine.) Also in the intervening years Wolfram | Alpha has arrived, and the notion of computational knowledge that it delivers has quite a few implications for mathematics. Today, for example, we are in the beginning stages of an ambitious project to curate all published theorems of mathematics, and automatically to generate “interesting theorems” from descriptions of mathematical structures.
