TITLE: “Homework Day” Oct. 21st – Live Interactive Event. Using Wolfram|Alpha is like having access to the Smartest Kid in School – 24 hours a day… for free!
SPECIAL GUEST: Special Guest: Allen Joyce, Content Manager, Wolfram Research
During our 1 pm show, Allen and his guest, Allen Joyce will discuss “Homework Day” – October 21st. This groundbreaking, live interactive web event brings together students and educators from across the country to solve the toughest assignments and explore the power of using Wolfram|Alpha for school, college, and beyond.
Students across the world are using Wolfram|Alpha to help with their homework. It’s free, easy to use, and helps users understand concepts faster. Participants on Oct. 21st will learn tips and tricks to make their schoolwork more fun, chat with the experts behind Wolfram|Alpha, be a part of the webcast, and win prizes.
Wolfram|Alpha’s long-term goal is to make all systematic knowledge immediately computable and accessible to everyone. We aim to collect and curate all objective data; implement every known model, method, and algorithm; and make it possible to compute whatever can be computed about anything. Our goal is to build on the achievements of science and other systematizations of knowledge to provide a single source that can be relied on by everyone for definitive answers to factual queries.
Wolfram|Alpha aims to bring expert-level knowledge and capabilities to the broadest possible range of people—spanning all professions and education levels. Our goal is to accept completely free-form input, and to serve as a knowledge engine that generates powerful results and presents them with maximum clarity.
Wolfram|Alpha is an ambitious, long-term intellectual endeavor that we intend will deliver increasing capabilities over the years and decades to come. With a world-class team and participation from top outside experts in countless fields, our goal is to create something that will stand as a major milestone of 21st century intellectual achievement.
