Wolfram Alpha

This is one of the coolest search engines you have ever seen. Thanks, Julie, for recommending the site. As the web page explains. "WolframAlpha is the first step in an ambitious, long-term project to make allsystematic knowledge immediately computable by anyone. Enter your question or calculation, and WolframAlpha uses its built-in algorithms and a growing collection of data to compute the answer."

Give it a try. It is especially good for mathematicians and scientists...but there is material available in many other disciplines. Once you open the site, look on the right side of the screen and click on the "Watch overview video" link. It takes 13 minutes...but I think you will be very impressed! Have fun...
