Description

What if programming in Mathematica were as simple as entering a Wolfram|Alpha query? What if all the data contained in Wolfram|Alpha results were natively accessible from within Mathematica programs? In this talk we'll take a look at features built in to Mathematica 8 that blur the line between writing programs and writing prose, including:

  • Querying Wolfram|Alpha directly from inside Mathematica
  • Interpreting free-form queries as precise Mathematica commands
  • Accessing the data within Wolfram|Alpha results
  • Customizing search results for the current Mathematica session
