Wolfram Alpha – What would you like to know?



As complicated as the name sounds, Wolfram alpha is nothing but a simple engine where you can ask anything. It mostly functions as a calculator. But isn't calculator a thing of the past? Apparently no, because Wolfram simply reinvents the definition of calculator.

What does Wolfram Alpha do?


On a basic level, wolfram alpha can be used to calculate any mathematical equation and search for answers for questions. From alpha, beta, gamma integrated illegible physics equations to nitrous, carbolic, ketone of Chemistry. But then that’s such a ‘Geek Thing’, what does wolfram offer for the regular ‘Joe’?

5 kinds of people who can benefit Wolfram Alpha


1. For Geek Gary: Well, if you’re a nerd then you might get addicted to this website. From statistics data analysis to solving mathematical equations to even discovering new equations, this website can be your best friend for your research and development works.

Let’s take a very basic example, you can ask wolfram

“Find the value of X from: X+3 = 45” and it will answer X is 42 with a graph as well. Now, the equation can be a really complicated on and in a fraction of second you will have your answer.

I pity the scientific calculators, it seems their day has come!


2. For Writer Wendy: Often writers and composers have on big problem, finding that suitable word or the suitable punctuation. Oscar Wilde said once “I was working on the proof of one of my poems all the morning, and took out a comma. In the afternoon I put it back again.”

So, for future Oscar Wildes and JK Rowlings Wolfram can be a great help. Just ask if the comma is grammatically appropriate and you can have your proof reader Wolfram take all the stress and figure it out.


3. For Fat Amy: Now, you must be wondering how a search engine can help you with your weight problems. Well, after having a guilty pleasure (those yummy chocolate puddings for Christmas or the feast in the New Year!) it is often necessary to check how much calorie you have gained. Wolfram provides you all the details and helps you gear up for the next day at the gym.

You can even plan you diet chart according to the calories using wolfram.



4. For DJ Dylan: Wolfram has something for everyone and the music lovers are not disappointed either. Want to know about the latest music album or the oldest one? Just ask Wolfram. Having trouble fixing your guitar notes? Just ask wolfram. Don’t know which songs to mix together? Just ask wolfram. Apparently, Wolfram acts as those irritating ‘Know-it-all’s, thank god it is an application!



5. For Curious Kate: Kate is that bizarre friend of yours who types anything and everything the moment he gets a keyboard. Well, maybe Kate will finally get someone who can answer him, that’s wolfram. Yes, from sports questions like ‘Who won the world cup in 2008?’ to stupid ones like ‘Where did I park my car?’, wolfram has even a surprise category that answers these questions in a quirky and entertaining way.



There are several other categories in the website like technology, life science, sports and games, transportation, meteorology and lots more. Check out the website now and give your curiosities a rest!
