Cellular automata are a powerful computational formalism. Stephen Wolfram’s book A New Kind of Science provides a thorough study of these devices. Not surprisingly, Wolfram Mathematica has great support for working with them. For example, the following figure shows the evolution of Rule 30 over 50 steps, plotted using ArrayPlot function (in Mathematica): Using cellular automata for […]

This format has been carried over to the computer repertories too. I feel that representing rubrics in the natural text form would often make it easier to understand the meaning of […]
