As we known that Google is biggest search engine on this web . recently Microsoft launch it's new search engine known as "Bing "also Microsoft and Yahoo tie up together to fight with Google . we can predict from current tug-of war in the market of search engine market that future's search engine market going to be more complicated.A new search engine " Wolfram Alpha" launched in the market on March 2009 by Dr Stephen Wolfram but question is Yahoo, Google and Bing like search engine are already present in the market so why need of any other type of search engine? competition always originate something new . an invention that could change the Internet for ever.
"wolfram Alpha" is something different from other search engine. Tag line of " Wolfram Alpha " is "Computational Knowledge Engine" from it's tag line it is clear that it would be some thing different from other search engine . we Will see it's impact on on Internet user within few year, How much success it would be in the market of search engine?
Wolfram’s search engine, known as Wolfram Alpha, is meant to be able to answer specific factual questions in a far more precise way than any search engine before it. For example, it will parse questions like “What is the location of Timbuktu?” or “How many protons are in a hydrogen atom?” or How to calculate factor of safety in Engineering ? Wolfram Alpha answer the questions rather than simply pull up sites that have the answer on them. Wolfram Alpha Search Engine is fully devoted to science and technology so it can give answer your science question in more precious way other than any search engine.
according to there is no need of comparison between Wolfram Alpha and Google because both are Good search engine in their categories. Wolfram Alpha would be very useful for science and technology students worldwide other than any search engine.
It's name is given on it's inventor "Dr Stephen Wolfram". Dr Stephen Wolfram now at t age the of 49. Wolfram received PhD in particle Physics from Califorania Institute of Technology at the age of 20.
Let's know Biography of Dr. Stephen Wolfram
Dr. Stephen Wolfram (born 29 August 1959 in London) is a British physicist, software developer, mathematician, author and businessman, known for his work in theoretical particle physics, cosmology, cellular automata, complexity theory, computer algebra and the Wolfram Alpha computational knowledge engine.
Stephen Wolfram's parents were Jewish refugees who emigrated from Westphalia to England in 1933. Wolfram's father, Hugo Wolfram, was a novelist (Into a Neutral Country), and his mother, Sybil Wolfram, was a professor of philosophy at the University of Oxford. He has a younger brother, Conrad Wolfram.
Wolfram was educated at Eton. At the age of 16, he published an article on particle physics and entered Oxford University (St John's College) at age 17. He wrote a widely-cited paper on heavy quark production at age 18.
Wolfram received his Ph.D. in particle physics from the California Institute of Technology at age 20 and joined the faculty there. He became highly interested in cellular automata at age 21. His work with Geoffrey Fox on the theory of the strong interaction is still used today in experimental particle physics.
Wolfram founded the journal Complex Systems in 1987.
He is married to a mathematician and has four children.
