Wolfram on Wolfram Alpha


You've probably already heard about this new "Computational Knowledge Engine" which should ideally compute answers to your questions.

This post is just to inform you that next week (Wednesday June the 24th, h. 15:00) the CEO and founder of the company behind all this (guess what? his name is S. Wolfram!) will be giving a talk in Pisa (at CNR - ISTI).

If you wish to attend you should sign-up here.

Meditate, folks, meditate!!
