I have been intrigued with the whole Wolfram Alpha hype for a long time and when finally I got to lay my hands on this engine, I was pleasantly surprised. I have to say, this is way beyond my expectations (I mean better) and the extent to which they’ve researched before launching it is really mind boggling.
Microsoft tried for ages to solve Integral and Derivative mathematical problems. I remember coming across a set of software to solve some complex Integration problems during A levels – never found anything good.
Wolf Ram Alpha is an answer engine that doesn’t return results like Google. It returns answers straight to the point. I have a few screenshots of what Wolfram Alpha can do. Get ready for an eyebrow raising experience.
-
- A search for Internet users Europe returns exact figure with breakups of countries on Wolfram Alpha
-
- Wolfram Alpha autocalculates physical properties of water under pressure and certain temperature.
-
- Bob – Wolfram Alpha auto-identifes it as a name because Bob is not a popular abbreviation.
-
- Searching for weather with a location returns detailed current weather stats with graphs.
-
- Entering a location gives geographic, demographic and other facts with a map – Wolfram Alpha
-
- Genealogical explanation in graphic form by Wolfram Alpha
-
- Wolf ram Alpha solve integration problems step by step with accompanying graphs
What do you think about Wolfram Alpha? It’s 4pm CST and Wolfram Alpha launches at 7pm CST. 3 hours to go. Can’t wait.
For all those still talking about “hype”, just imagine the detail of the algorithm that runs this engine. It is remarkable. All the best to Mr Stephen Wolfram and Wolfram Alpha!

I like Wolfram Alpha. It offers a completely new way of searching for information.

Wolfram Alpha is a good news in the area of search engines. It has some advantages compared to the other search engines. Still, it is not the competition to Google or other search engines, since it uses totally different approach. It is more like dictionary or encyclopedia than search engine.
