Stephen Wolfram, the man behind computing-application Mathematica and the search engine Wolfram Alpha, has a short attention span that's married to a long-term outlook. When asked what his favorite ...

Running in command line on a Raspberry Pi, Steven Wolfram’s invaluable laboratory software is being expanded into a logic and knowledge engine that can operate locally or in the cloud. “I think in its ...

For more than 20 years, there has been a wealth of software available in the technical computing market; packages such as Matlab ( ), Maple ( ), and Mathematica ( ) are used by countless scientists ...

On Wednesday, February 8th, Wolfram Alpha will be adding a new, “Pro” option to its already existing services. Priced at a very reasonable $4.99 a month ($2.99 for students), the new services includes ...

The problem is Wolfram Alpha isn't a search engine and never claimed to be. In fact, the first question on the site's FAQ list is just that, and the answer is -- no. What the company claims it to be ...
