Has anyone here tried Wolfram | Alpha yet?

I tried wolfram alpha and enjoyed some of its features. Let us go through other reviews. -- quote --- Type in a mathematical formula or a complex engineering problem, and Wolfram Alpha will solve it.

Enter a company’s ticker symbol, and Wolfram Alpha will give you its history, financials and graphs on its performance. Tech reviewers called it a tool for geeks, not the average Internet user. “Alpha simply doesn’t want to be a Google killer and, in its current form, won’t take market-share away from Google,” wrote Frederic Lardinois of ReadWriteWeb.

“Alpha will take away some users from Wikipedia (but it’s no Wikipedia killer either), as it can give its users quick and easy access to a wide range of data. ” ---end quote.

I like the Wolfram-Alpha comparison feature, such as putting in two stock symbols to compare two companies. It is also great for getting statistics on any place. Put in your hometown and see what you think.

Wolfram-Alpha is based on semantic web idea. Collect all this data from around the web and present in context as information. I can't wait to see where it leads.

I think wolframalpha.com/ Wolfram Alpha is a cool website especially for people like me who follow their careers in the science of mathematics fields. I haven't figured out all of it's features yet. But it has proved itself worthy in the chemistry and biology sections.

I found some tricks / tips for wolfram alpha which you can check in the sources.

Yes. Its a logic engine not a search engine. It pours through data and compiles unique facts.

For example you type in your birthday it will tell you how many days old you are.

I've found Google to still be more useful than Wolfram Alpha.

Alpha is cool for math questions (simple to advanced ones), or to find out technical stuff about chemistry, biology, etc... anything with numbers or schematics.

Yes, however I am STILL trying to figure out a good use for it... I mean there's GOT to be something useful for it!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
