Wolfram Alpha

On August 9, 2009, in The Web, by Kerry

Been having a lot of fun playing with Stephen Wolfram’s new Wolfram Alpha. Stephen is a hero of mine, largely for discovering the cellular automaton Rule 30. His latest site is a resource for anyone needing something broken down into math. And at last, I have a solution for factorials about 170! I disagree with those that say this site is going to be as important as Google, just for the fact that it plays no role in the three economic engines of the internet, namely dating, downloading pornography, and sharing copywritten music. However, I did find a use for it just yesterday.
