WolframAlpha can compare two topics statistically such as, which has more calories: a Big Mac or the Whopper? Yep, WolframAlpha can help you there. Check out some other examples below:
- Compare statistical data
- Get details about historical events
- Sports data
- Tons of weather data and comparison
- and more
Below is a video of how WolframAlpha can help you solve quadratic equations (the nemesis of many math students). Check it out below and if you have a great use for WolframAlpha leave it in the comments
