New Data and More Data Means Even More Reasons to Use Wolfram|Alpha
One of our most favorite and used resources continues to add quality data and then allows you to use the data for your factual needs.
In doing this W|A continues to be the “go to resource” for many types of factual queries. As we’ve said in the past, the biggest challenge in using Wolfram|Alpha is having some idea of what’s available, what’s being added, etc. Maybe one of these days Wolfram will offer a comprehensive and dynamic searchable and browsable directory containing listing what’s available and a few examples of how the data can be used.
Here’s an idea of a few new things you can do with Wolfram|Alpha:
1. More Data from the World Bank World Development Indicators Allows Users to Answer More Questions Using Natural Language
2. Nuclear Reactor Data From the International Atomic Energy Agency
Example Query: Nuclear Reactors California
3. “Wolfram|Alpha Is Glowing with Pregnancy Data”
4. A Look at How W|A Can Be Used in Genealogy Research
5. “New Age Pyramids Enhance Population Data”
