Suppose you didn’t know that Wolfram has all the reactance calculators built-in. You know an inductor has a reactance of 2*pi*f*L, and you want to know what inductor would have a reactance of ...

Image via Wikipedia By now, you’ve probably heard about Wolfram|Alpha, the “computational knowledge engine” that was recently rolled out by the makers of Mathematica. If you haven’t, here ...

With Wolfram Alpha, you can easily type "1.5 tablespoons quadrupled," and not only can it do the math for you, but it can also generate results in tablespoons, cups, and quarts.

BURLINGAME, Calif. -- The much-hyped Wolfram Alpha launches Friday night, and it has Internet-goers howling with anticipation. But the new search engine's business model could prove to be a real ...

Wolfram Alpha can show step-by-step instructions on a lot of equations as well, so if you have a query along the lines of “60431 / 89,” you can go through the workings one stage at a time. It ...

Wolfram Alpha’s search topics are broken down into four categories – Mathematics, Science and Technology, Society and Culture, and Everyday Life – with subtopics underneath.
