This is awesome. A little late to help me with all those integrals in E&M, but a great tool for my students.

In that case I have a favor to ask. Because it is linked to Chalkface ( a Web 0.0 book publisher), my blog gets read by a lot of teachers who are still at the discovery phase with the Web. If you have a specific teaching idea with W|A you could really help inspire them by adding it to the blog comments.

Thanks Ian,<br />
Great application. I tried the same with malaria - not quite as neat, but still interesting.

I checked out your blog ... that was a great use of wolfram alpha, and to extend the numbers given and predict the future! Have fun on your trip. Keep living, searching, and hopefully finding.<br />

Wolfram throws into focus the question "why do we still teach knowledge?"<br />
<br />
Einstein famously asked "Why should I clutter my brain with information that is readily available from reference sources?", when recovering that information required a trip to a (physical) library. I would much rather spend my time instilling into young minds the habit (and skills) of reflexively hitting Google, Wikipedia, and now Wolfram, whenever they find themselves wondering about the date of this, the composition of…
