			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Boy, I wish we had back when I was taking algebra and calculus. The &#8220;computational engine&#8221; Wolfram|Alpha will not only solve problems for you but will also show possible solutions.</p>
<p>I can just imagine teachers all over the world trying to one-up Wolfram|Alpha just so they use up their student&#8217;s time on their homework (by the way, all teachers assign homework on the assumption their students are only taking their classes).</p>
<p>From quadratic equations, polynomial long division to integral calculus, the engine will solve AND show the solution. It would even show the graphs! All you have to do is tell the engine to solve the problem; click &#8220;show steps&#8221; to tell you how it did.</p>
<p>Neat. Just check the examples from the <a href="http://blog.wolframalpha.com/2009/12/01/step-by-step-math/" target="_blank">Wolfram|Alpha blog</a></p>
<p>Ok for the test tomorrow, internet connections are not allowed.</p>
<p>Oh yeah, it will also solve all sorts of <a href="http://homeworkday.wolframalpha.com/gallery/" target="_blank">homework for you as well and teach you how to do it.</a></p>
