__Description of Presentation__ This presentation will look at the use of the [|Wolfram Alpha] search engine

"Wolfram|Alpha isn't a search engine, which means that if you want to find pictures of celebrities, the cheapest price on a flight to London or articles written about a specific topic, you need to use a search engine. Alpha is designed for you to ask it a question and get a factually correct answer, along with a visual interpretation of that answer." Source: http://computer.howstuffworks.com
