Wolfram|Alpha


Wolfram|Alpha aims to bring expert-level knowledge and capabilities to the broadest possible range of people—spanning all professions and education levels. Our goal is to accept completely free-form input, and to serve as a knowledge engine that generates powerful results and presents them with maximum clarity. - from Wolfram|Alpha Website

More than two weeks ago, Wolfram|Alpha was launched. Wolfram|Alpha is a computational knowledge engine: it generates output by doing computations from its own internal knowledge base, instead of searching the web and returning links.

You can try different things with Wolfram|Alpha, like asking its name, age, etc. You can also plot graphs, chemical formula, finance, geography etc..

How about asking Wolfram|Alpha-- are you a computer?? His answer "I am a collection of computers connected to this cool internet machine thing".

Try it now, its fun.....
