   I used WolframAlpha a lot especially when I was taking Calculus in my freshman and Sophomore year. It is until now that I started to wonder how the company earn revenue?

   I look it up on Google(just know) and find some of these:

   1.Selling Apps for Iphone/Ipad
   2.TouchPress: ebooks for Ipad & Iphone
   3.Bing calculates results directly on search engine using WolframAlpha
   4.SIRI(IPHONE4S) functionality uses Wolfram Alpha to display answers to questions!!

   Very impressive program with a very smooth interface that is both easily accessible and can be used by the average person.
   I can see why this calculator has attained popularity among students; it is extremely useful and combines many different aspects of academics together.
   Ingenious idea by the creator of Wolfram and he/she has really done a wonderful thing for college students worldwide.

   Having slaved through engineering math classes, I can tell you that this is one tool everyone should at least try. For my mathematical computations I have moved on to using Wolfram’s Mathmatica, (unfortunately alpha does have its limitations when it comes to higher order functions) but most econ, stats and other science questions can still be found here.

   Wolfram is an amazing website. I used it last semester to do homework for my calculus II class and to study for my exams. It helps give step by step information on many different problems. Wolfram has mobile apps so you can have access even when you are not in front of you computer. I definitely recommend this website to any student taking a math course that need extra help to understand their coursework.

   Wolfram Alpha is an excellent resource for college students , especially engineers. This novel idea was first started by British scientist Stephan Wolfram .It consists of 15 million lines of Mathematica code.Unlike a search engine,it takes the resource from the user as an input and displays a factual output.I myself used this website a lot when I needed help with my calculus homework .In my opinion, Wolfram Alpha is an excellent business idea because it is helpful for students of all ages.

   I have to say, WolframAlpha was very useful when I had online homework for Calculus. Even though it would give me an answer for the problem, it would also give me many different forms of an explanation. My only problem with it was figuring out how to form my questions so that the database would understand how to figure out the problem or equations correctly. Many times I would be limited to my options for mathematical problems, so I would assume using Wolfram’s Mathmatica would be a great solution considering the level of help just WolframAlpha was.

   Like many people posted my only experience is watching people solve math problems. It’s a great tool that I believe allows for double integrals and that is why most people use it.

   I was struggling with my math class last year until my friend told me about WolframAlpha. I feel like it helped more than just with doing my homework; i was able to analyze the graphs and other broken-down components to figure out how to do things on my own. I cant imagine how many college students this site has helped.
