Wolfram Alpha, the “computational knowledge engine” with a name that rolls right off the tongue, has until now lived solely as a Web site that can provide cool data results to certain queries. Now, though, iPhone and iPod touch owners can avail themselves of a brand spankin' new $50 Wolfram Alpha app.
You can ask Wolfram Alpha to compute plain-language problems as diverse as “mother's father's nephew” or “9 years six months twelve days from yesterday” or even “population density United States vs France.” You can also feed it mathematical queries like “taylor series x^2 sin^3(x)”.
