Wolfram Universal Deployment System Instant deployment across cloud, desktop, mobile, and more. Wolfram Knowledgebase Curated computable knowledge powering Wolfram Alpha. Delivering on the computational paradigm. Essays on the Wolfram Language by Stephen Wolfram. Version Wolfram Alpha does unit conversions just as well as Google, but it lets you dig much deeper.
Physics queries are well-handled, too, including those involving thermodynamics, mechanical work, gravitational calculations, magnetism, optics, relativity, and centripetal acceleration. Just plug in the formula you want resolved and let Wolfram Alpha work its magic. If chemistry is your field of interest, the search engine covers elements, compounds, ions, chemical quantities, and more.
It covers sound and acoustics, too. The search engine can dig into transportation data as well. The Wolfram Alpha engine is really good at returning information about materials such as alloys, plastics, minerals, and wood—just type in the name of a material to learn about it. As usual, you can compare materials by separating the names with commas.
Serious mathematicians and number-crunchers should love Wolfram Alpha. The search engine covers a whole host of functions and calculations, whether you need to work out the lengths of the sides of a triangle or locate the inflection points of a function. Start with the basics of addition and subtraction, then go as deep as you need to.
The plotting and graphics capabilities of Wolfram Alpha are particularly impressive. Earlier that day he had been confronted by STEM teachers who were frustrated with their students' use of the tool. It was, they said, blatant cheating. My father had left the office unsure of how to proceed. Should the school crack down on Wolfram Alpha? Or did the school need to catch up to this new beat in education? Some had used it to get through college calculus, while a few were still using it at their jobs as engineers or quantitative analysts.
The rise of Wolfram Alpha had completely passed over my humanities-minded head, just as, for millions of minds, it had become ubiquitous. Turning to the tech for answers was, they said, normal. What some call cheating, others have heralded as a massive step forward in how we learn, what we teach, and what education is even good for.
They say that Wolfram Alpha is the future. Unsurprisingly, its creator agrees. Despite his wunderkind science abilities, math was a constant stumbling block. He could come up with concepts, but executing calculations was hard. His solution was to get his hands on a computer. By programming it to solve equations and find patterns in data, he could leave the math to the machine and focus his brain on the science. It worked. In , Wolfram became the youngest person to ever receive a MacArthur Fellowship.
He was only
