ING The first thing that I did was explore the website. I learned a few little secrets

that Wolfram was hiding in plain site.

Teaching a Fellow Student

After completing a little bit of preliminary research about WolframAlpha, I began to teach it to another student that it could be useful to.

Intro

nPo

int

This is Levi Gallant, a student at Mesquite High School that is currently enrolled in Dual Credit Classes through CGCC. › His major in college will be chemistry, which

uses quite a few of the same classes I am taking for my engineering degree

Exploration

To teach Levi WolframAlpha, I simply explained the different features it has and delved a little further into how to enter equations.

Continuation

The first thing he did was change the background color.

I showed him the random button, which allows site-users to view random math problems or tidbits of information.

Graphing And Math Problems One of the most

useful features that WolframAlpha has is its math engine.

The site can graph in 3 dimensions and help solve problems from all levels of math, it does not cut out at Calculus 1 like a lot of other math help websites.

ConclusionWolfram is an extremely helpful web tool! I

strongly recommend its use to anybody that takes math classes or just wants to pick up a

few new pieces of information.
