Wolfram Alpha App

Information is not lacking when once seeks on the internet. The rising importance of filters and searching algorithms becomes increasingly important - this is where Wolfram Alpha shines. 

From the creators:

Remember the Star Trek computer? It's finally happening--with Wolfram|Alpha. Building on 25 years of development led by Stephen Wolfram, Wolfram|Alpha has rapidly become the world's definitive source for instant expert knowledge and computation. 

Across thousands of domains--with more continually added--Wolfram|Alpha uses its vast collection of algorithms and data to compute answers and generate reports for you. 

Parts of Wolfram|Alpha are used in the Apple Siri Assistant; this app gives you access to the full power of the Wolfram|Alpha computational knowledge engine. 


Applications:

1. Varied search algorithms to Google - yes, there is an alternative.
2. Broad range of knowledge domains represented.
3. Search responds well to natural language questions.
