- Correct, a computational knowledge tool - much more than just math. A tool like this makes data come to life...at least for me.

- Wolfram Alpha isn't so much a math tool as it is a "computational knowledge" tool--so, anything with quantifiable data will eventually be accessible (including math). If I were an instructor I'd gladly point students to this over Wikipedia for this type of information.
