Wolfram Alpha is an online computational knowledge engine developed by Wolfram Research. It answers factual queries directly by computing the answer from structured data, rather than providing a list of documents or web pages that might contain the answer as a search engine might. Wolfram Alpha can compute answers and generate reports for a wide range of topics, including mathematics, statistics, chemistry, engineering, astronomy, physics, materials science, biology, finance, and more. It can provide detailed information on a wide range of topics, such as the history of a particular person or event, the properties of a certain chemical compound, or the steps involved in solving a particular mathematical equation. Wolfram Alpha is available both as an app and a website.
Due to its huge library and equation editor, it is an excellent alternative for quick problem solving or as a math notebook for engineers. However, the desktop version is much better than the mobile one.
