I am always impressed with how much data there actually is stored in Wolfram|Alpha’s data banks. Sometimes it’s actually a little creepy.
For those of you who aren’t familiar with Wolfram|Alpha. It’s what they call a computational knowledge engine… Not sure what that is? Consider this. Google is really good at, as with many other things, searching web pages. Where Wolfram|Alpha is good at math, statistics, language… you name it!
Try this once, go to Wolfram|Alpha and type in your home City, State. You may be surprised to find the amount of data it knows about.
Try some other things, like an algebra equation “y=sin(x)”. Just like below, it’ll graph it out!
But the real reason I’m posting this is because it also appears like the guys at Wolfram|Alpha may have a sense of humor as well! I submitted the query, “Who’s Your Daddy?” only to find that it actually gave me a response! It took my query and interpreted it as “Who Created You?”.
| Head on over to Wolfram | Alpha now and see what kinds of things you can look up! |
| Wolfram | Alpha team, seriously, great job on the engine! I’ve already purchased the Android app. Keep up the great work and don’t lose your sense of humor! |
