Wolfram Alpha

Hey, it's been a while since I posted something here, but I'm pretty busy right now...
Anyways: here is something I wanted to share with you people, since I'm not sure if everybody knows it. There's a "search engine" out there, that does not actually search websites - it gathers knowledge instead and tries to make it accessible more easily: Wolfram Alpha.
For me as an engineer it comes in handy often, since it does unit-conversions automatically for example.
Do you need to know how the plot of a function looks like or the functions derivative? Just type it in and see what it makes out of it.
You're interested in some facts about a country, city, animal or whatever? Wolfram Alpha also has answers to that...
In case you're just a nerd, you might also be able to find something pretty cool ^_^.
This is only a really small portion, of what this website actually offers. So check out the examples to see whether it covers the topics you're interested in or not - most likely it will
.
Enjoy
!
