Wolfram|Alpha
The Wolfram|Alpha
website is an ambitious, long-term project to make all systematic
knowledge immediately computable by anyone. Enter your question or
calculation and Wolfram|Alpha uses its built-in algorithms and a
growing collection of data to compute the answer. It aims to
collect and curate all objective data; implement every known model,
method, and algorithm; and make it possible to compute whatever can
be computed about anything. The goal is to build on the
achievements of science and other systematisations of knowledge to
provide a single source that can be relied on by everyone for
definitive answers to factual queries. To see what the site is
capable of look at the Examples where you will be able to choose by
subject area or there is a quick video overview. You can search by
chemical formula, for example, and you will given chemical names
and formula as well as basic, liquid and thermodynamic properties;
chemical identifiers such as CAS registry number are also given. On
a more trivial note, it can also help when playing scrabble!
There is also a Wolfram|Alpha for
Educators for classroom use.
