We spoke to Conrad Wolfram, Strategic and International Director of Wolfram Research, and founder of Computer Based Math. He was keen to talk about disrupting maths education by teaching broader problem solving rather than pure computation, the importance of getting your message out there (... he's not so bad at this himself), and what's standing in the way of progress and educational reform.
