Don’t call Wolfram Alpha a search engine. Billed by its creators at Wolfram Research as a “computational knowledge engine,” Wolfram Alpha uses mathematical techniques to cross-reference myriad ...

Wolfram Research is somewhat of a legend. Founded by Stephen Wolfram in 1987, Wolfram Research has been into things such as reasoning, question answering, and an array of advanced services that go ...

Physics prodigy turned software entrepreneur Stephen Wolfram can fairly claim to have revolutionized the math software niche with the 1988 launch of Mathematica, and that must have given him a taste ...

The development of algorithms that enable non-data scientists and executives the ability to access big data will be the over-arching trend over the next 5 years says luminary Stephen Wolfram in a ...

Wolfram today rolled out its Computable Document Format, which is designed to turn documents into interactive applications. The goal is to turn "lifeless documents" into ones that bring data to life, ...

Expanding beyond its scientific and engineering number-crunching software, Mathematica maker Wolfram Research released a desktop application for full-scale system modeling and simulation, the company ...

Wolfram Research, the parent company behind computational search engine Wolfram Alpha, is acquiring MathCore Engineering AB, the developer of the MathModelica modeling and simulation software system.

It's been two months since Wolfram Alpha launched, and in some ways, the "computation knowledge engine" is still fouling off pitches. A few examples were provided, such as the ability to see whether ...

Theodore Gray's office was uncluttered and organized, so something big must be up at Wolfram Research this week. Gray always said he would tidy his office when Mathematica 6, the newest version of the ...
