Wolfram Alpha - Site of the Week - May 18th, 2009
First, sorry for the lateness to my Site of the Week article for this week. You will see why as you read on. Enjoy!
My Site of the Week is a brand new website that just came out today. I have been watching this site from the get go and have been waiting for it to come out. You might now what it is, you might not. For those who don't know what Wolfram Alpha is, here is what the website's about page says; sums it up pretty well:
Wolfram|Alpha's long-term goal is to make all systematic knowledge immediately computable and accessible to everyone. We aim to collect and curate all objective data; implement every known model, method, and algorithm; and make it possible to compute whatever can be computed about anything. Our goal is to build on the achievements of science and other systematizations of knowledge to provide a single source that can be relied on by everyone for definitive answers to factual queries. 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. Wolfram|Alpha is an ambitious, long-term intellectual endeavor that we intend will deliver increasing capabilities over the years and decades to come. With a world-class team and participation from top outside experts in countless fields, our goal is to create something that will stand as a major milestone of 21st century intellectual achievement.I have been testing this site out today (the reason this article is coming out later than usual), giving it the Kyle Reddoch work around...LOL and I have to say, it passes!! This site is exactly what they say. Get help with math, chemistry, physics, geography, units and measurements, etc. Never be found in the lost again. So what are you waiting for, head on over to Wolfram Alpha and get expert level knowledge at your fingertips! ~ Kyle Reddoch
