			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yesterday I played with <a href="http://www.wolframalpha.com">Wolfram|Alpha</a>.  What is this, you ask? Think of it as a master computational engine &#8211; put in a problem and it solves it; put in a keyword and it give you data on the query subject.<a href="http://www.wolframalpha.com"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-48" title="wolfram|alpha" src="http://www.cindykendall.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/wolfram.jpg" alt="" width="359" height="54" /></a></p>
<blockquote><p>Wolfram|Alpha&#8217;s long-term goal is to make all systematic knowledge immediately computable and accessible to everyone. We aim 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. Our goal is to build on the achievements of science and other systematizations of knowledge to provide a single source that can be relied on by everyone for definitive answers to factual queries.</p></blockquote>
<p>I entered &#8220;<a href="http://www46.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=espa%C3%B1ol">español</a>&#8221; in the search box, not quite sure what it would return. Visually, somewhat interesting. I liked the &#8220;more&#8221; feature in each subsection and the ability to export the information in PDF format. <a href="http://www46.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=lemonade">&#8220;Lemonade&#8221;</a> reveals interesting nutritional information averaged across multiple sources. &#8220;<a href="http://www46.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=Dali">Dali</a>&#8221; sadly doesn&#8217;t return any of his artwork, just a few dates.</p>
<p>I think if my teenage daughter would have had access to this site while she was taking Pre-Calculus, she would have died and gone to heaven.</p>
