Stephen Wolfram’s Introduction to Wolfram|Alpha
68 Comments 
Building the ultimate computational knowledge engine is a highly ambitious and long-term project. The Wolfram|Alpha that you will get to start exploring next week is really just the beginning. Still, there are a lot of ways that you might use Wolfram|Alpha.
In this screencast, Stephen Wolfram gives a quick introduction and demo of today’s Wolfram|Alpha.
Awesome! Accurate Knowledge at the tip of your fingers!
Charts and graphs make it easier to understand and remember the information.
The input you receive in exchange of your question gets your brain working at full speed!
Congratulations Wolfram Alpha!
I’ve been showing this to some people in my lab and we were wondering what kind of physics Alpha can handle. For example, a useful question that seems rather nontrivial would be “What atoms with atomic numbers less than 100 have hyperfine electronic transitions between 1 and 100GHz?” I bet someone Alpha is going to be good — I think I’d win my bet hands down if it could answer this intelligently. Can it?
Hurry up guys, we’re waiting for you. D’ont forget to mention Buenos Aires, Argentina as a place with many people interested!
we will try to use this tool in our school of english in murcia spain.
students remember more when they are activiely involved in the aquisition process in a fun way. instead of writing on the board the irreg verbs we try to find them in an engine and then compare which result is best for consumption.
