Overview
WolframAlpha is a unique application that serves as an engine for computing as well as complex question and answer generation. The application is run via numerous algorithms which search vast data pools to provide an answer. The specialty of WolframAlpha is the depth and scope of it's algorithms, which are able to compute complex data. This data can be in a variety of fields, adding to the versatility of the app. With a detailed input, WolframAlpha can solve algebraic equations, create charts/reports and presentations, and even explore archives to produce family trees.
Although extremely adaptable to a number of vocations, the strongest aspect of the application still lies in its mathematical capabilities. Specifically in Education, WolframAlpha can show step-by-step solutions to complex problems up through calculus and physics and provides a detailed way to 'check work' for students.
