What this means is that this search engine can compute just about anything. The program is so sophisticated that it can query almost any computation using natural language. You can "just ask a question". You will not only get your answer, but you will see the steps to solve it as well as all other pertinent or relevant information related to your question.
Does this sound confusing. The best way to learn about the power of this website is to watch this demo video made by its creator. Sit back and enjoy this clip. I am confident you will be amazed!
Wolfram Alpha can be used quite extensively in Education. Math and Science students can use the engine to help solve math problems, learn the step to solve a problem, and gather data for research.
This search engine separates itself from GOOGLE in that it delivers the answers and data you are looking for. It does not just list a page of search results that you sift through to find what you are looking for. As I mentioned, it is a computational search engine. That means it has access to endless amounts of data to pair with its algorithms. At the bottom of all of your search results you will find a link to sources. These are the sources that are used to complete the computations. Whether it is historical weather data or us census numbers, the sources of data are right at your fingertips.
There is so much that I could write about Wolfram Alpha. Stay tuned for more postings. In the meantime, take a look at the video and start exploring.
Enjoy!
