Can you trust Wolfram Alpha?

When you need an exact answer, Wolfram Alpha is efficient, accurate, and reliable –- as long as the answer can be found in one of its databases and the question is asked correctly.

Is Wolfram Alpha good for students?

Wolfram|Alpha uses natural language processing technology, part of the AI family, to provide students with an academic shortcut that is faster than a tutor, more reliable than copying off of friends, and much easier than figuring out a solution yourself.

Does Wolfram Alpha Show steps?

Wolfram|Alpha can demonstrate step-by-step solutions over a wide range of problems. This functionality will be expanded to include steps for solutions in other mathematical areas. The “Show steps” feature allows you to learn basic mathematics on your own, or it can simply be a nice way to check your work!

How good is Wolfram Alpha?

Wolfram Alpha is excellent at returning answers to mathematical queries and scientific queries, but it also can provide results based on its structured data. Wolfram Alpha does analysis on every query to parse equations and even parse natural language questions to better understand what the user is asking.

Should I pay for Wolfram Alpha?

Yes, it’s free for personal noncommercial use as described in its Terms of Use. Access to enhanced features and ad-free site use is available through a subscription to Wolfram|Alpha Pro.

What language does Wolfram Alpha use?

As a result, the five million lines of Mathematica code that make up Wolfram|Alpha are equivalent to many tens of millions of lines of code in a lower-level language like C, Java, or Python. Mathematica is a very tall starting point from which to begin building Wolfram|Alpha (or anything else, for that matter).

Can Wolfram Alpha solve any math problem?

Wolfram|Alpha has broad knowledge and deep computational power when it comes to math. Whether it be arithmetic, algebra, calculus, differential equations or anything in between, Wolfram|Alpha is up to the challenge. Solve differential equations of any order.

Why would you use Wolfram Alpha?

Wolfram|Alpha is a unique engine for computing answers and providing knowledge. It works by using its vast store of expert-level knowledge and algorithms to automatically answer questions, do analysis and generate reports.

Does Wolfram Alpha give IP addresses?

Wolfram|Alpha knows only what your browser transmits to the web server—primarily your IP address, from which Wolfram|Alpha deduces your approximate geographic location. (Note that this information is protected by our Privacy Policy.)
