Wolfram Alpha



What is the 10001st prime number?
What is the result of 2 ^ 1000?
What is the result of 2010!

These questions may be difficult to answer. But what if there is a place where we can find the answer easily? When we ask, the answer will appear in an instant. Do ordinary calculator can do it? Or should we use a programming language for the answer of those questions?
All we need only type the name "wolfram alpha" on Google. Then go to the pages. We can ask the questions above.

Wolfram Alpha is an amazing site that can answer our questions about math, physics, chemistry, biology, language, history, weather, and other general knowledge. The inventor of this site is a physicist named Dr. Stephen Wolfram from the United States. This finding may change the world of the Internet. Wolfram Alpha also became rival of Google.

Use of Alpha Wolfram is same with search engines. We only need to type a question or statement. Then, we have the answer. For mathematical equation, we need to use special symbols for some common equations. We can find out about the inventors at Wolfram Alpha. However, we must use English. If not, we will not find the answer.

Looks like Wolfram Alpha will be very useful in the exam. Wolfram Alpha is not a calculator. Wolfram Alpha is not a counting tool. Even Wolfram Alpha is not a tool. But with what we can access Wolfram Alpha during the exam? Yes, better not. If it is for homework, okay. But remember,do not get too dependent on Wolfram Alpha. We still can use our own abilities, right?

If you are so curious, type the following address in your browser.
