DEFINITION


3/20

Mathematicas logo is a three-dimensional

polyhedron affectionately called Spikey.

attractive solid known as the

rhombic hexecontahedron

rhombic refers to the fact that the faces of the

solid consist of rhombi (rhombus)

hexecontahedron is a word derived from the

Greek

rhombic hexecontahedron means 60-faced

solid

Where each face stands for information

How it works

Developing an algorithm forspecific context

Add it to the enterprisedatabase

When user enters query itcontacts with db and

computes the result

Answer with details will showon the browser

The Mathematica

worlds largest program with70 million lines and stillimproving

Fastest searching mechanism

Provides 3-D poweredplatform

Once loaded stores data in todatabase and use it with thealgorithm

MathematicaWORKING & FEATURES

Creates web algorithms, allwith in-built intelligence

This algorithm stored on db isknown as Computationalknowledge

Now High-performanceenterprise deployment isused for handling massivescalability for query handling

One coherent architecture

One systematic way to load,hold and work

Uses imaginable type ofinformation with above

which includes algorithms,data, and more.

A unique symbolicarchitecture that holdseverythingdata, graphics,programs, mathin a unifiedstructure


11/20

Smart method selection

The highest-level base ofexpertise from which tobuild linguisticunderstanding.

The Wolfram Alpha aim ofnatural languageprocessing

Converts all tasks tomethods for naturallanguage processing


12/20

Automated visualization capabilities

yA way to visualize data,tree structures, graphlayouts, and other

dynamically generatedgraphics in the mostaestheticallypleasing

way.

y Precision automaticplotting, scaling, layout,coloring, lighting


13/20

Efficient text processing

Efficient Text Processingwith linguistic analysis

High level and very fastprocessing

Since most efficientlinguistic analysis is used itcan not feel confusionbetween languages

The Wolfram Alpha service provides a web-based API for clients

Two general classes of queries. ..Higher and Lower Level

Both levels of the API are implemented using HTTP GET requests.

The highest-level API is called the Query API

There are two functions in the Query API: query and validatequery.

The query function is the main function and it is accessed by a URL

The validatequery function is a specialized function hat performs

only the initial parsing phase .
