https://community.wolfram.com RSS Feed for Wolfram Community showing any discussions tagged with Wolfram|Alpha with no replies sorted by active. https://community.wolfram.com/groups/-/m/t/3774362 I downloaded the Wolfram|Alpha app and made the following question: "If the universe has started with just a command "expand, constrain", what would be the result after 14 billion years of that command?" The result was "Wolfram|Alpha cannot interpret the input". The idea is to propose what happens with only that simple command aplied to space atoms. The idea came from Wolfram's video in The Well (Big Think) https://bigthink.com/the-well/physics-doesnt-explain-the-universe-computation-does/ Can anyone help to improve the question in a way that a simulation could run? Henrique Agliardi 2026-08-05T13:25:13Z https://community.wolfram.com/groups/-/m/t/3758832 Introduction In this post I use Wolfram technologies and Wolfram Language syntax to investigate an exact algebraic chain connecting the constants 4096, 1729, and an eighteenth-root operator arising in my mathematical investigations. The purpose of this post is to illustrate symbolic computation and high-precision numerical verification using Wolfram technologies. All symbolic computations presented below are expressed in Wolfram Language syntax and verified using Wolfram computational technologies. Step 1. Exact symbolic identity expr = (Sqrt[2 - Sqrt[3]] - Sqrt[2 + Sqrt[3]])^24; FullSimplify[expr] Output: 4096 Step 2. Hardy–Ramanujan number ramanujan = 27*Sqrt[expr] + 1; FullSimplify[ramanujan] Output: 1729 Step 3. Eighteenth-root operator operator = (expr + ramanujan)^(1/18); N[operator,50] Output: 1.618762396... Step 4. Comparison with the Golden Ratio N[GoldenRatio,50] N[operator - GoldenRatio,50] The second command computes the numerical difference between the algebraic operator and the Golden Ratio. Step 5. High-precision computation N[operator,100] This confirms the stability of the numerical value at arbitrary precision. Visualization Plot[ (4096 + 1729)^(1/x), {x,10,25}, PlotRange->All, AxesLabel->{"Exponent","Value"} ] The graph illustrates how the algebraic operator evolves as the exponent varies. Conclusion This post illustrates how Wolfram Language can be used for exact symbolic computation, arbitrary precision arithmetic, numerical verification, visualization of algebraic operators. The complete symbolic chain 4096 ↓ 1729 ↓ (4096 + 1729)^(1/18) ↓ 1.618762396... is obtained through Wolfram technologies using Wolfram Language syntax. ![enter image description here][1] ![enter image description here][2] The accompanying Wolfram|Alpha evaluations confirm the exact symbolic identities and the corresponding high-precision numerical values, illustrating the effectiveness of Wolfram technologies for symbolic mathematical exploration.

I'd like to try short answers API with MMBasic for myself. As for any APIs I tried I did the following: Opened a TCP client as "api.wolframalpha.com", port 80. Send TCP request as "GET /v1/result?appid=MYAPPIDHERE&i=speed+of+light"+CRLF Opening TCP clinet is ok, but for response I got 404 Not found (in html structure). Something I need to do in an other way? This was worked for 99% of simple APIs. Thanks a lot!

Stewart Dickson 2026-01-01T22:35:54Z https://community.wolfram.com/groups/-/m/t/3552336 I'm trying to solve some problems with the Wolfram Problem Generator. After clearing some problems, I got into the question on the screenshot. The answer is correct, the normal Wolfram Alpha also says so, but the Wolfram Problem Generator is not able to parse the correct result? Am I doing something wrong? Is there a better way than writing the matrices code by hand? Because there are only options to create 2x2 and 3x3 matrices. ![Wolfram Problem Generator not able to parse matrices][1] [1]: https://community.wolfram.com//c/portal/getImageAttachment?filename=Screenshot2025-09-27at19-59-05WolframProblemGeneratorUnlimitedAI-generatedPracticeProblems.png&userId=3551794 Would love to get some feedback. I really don't know what I am doing wrong. There also aren't any strange characters there that could stop Wolfram Alpha from parsing it. Thank you for your help. M K 2025-09-27T18:04:18Z https://community.wolfram.com/groups/-/m/t/3544991 When one calls the WolframAlpha API, the response contains an internal wrapper instead of pure MathML.

Prior to upgrading, it worked perfectly for even relatively complex calculations. I've been through the release notes and don't see an obvious related item. What am I missing? Thanks. Larry Dale Snelling 2025-08-17T16:12:39Z https://community.wolfram.com/groups/-/m/t/3522679 I’m studying the Master Numbers method from this paper: Berezin, S. (2025). [Master Numbers][1]: Generalized Parametric Factorials. Zenodo. DOI 10.5281/zenodo.15655439 mstr(m;s;r;t) = ∏_{ j = 1 }^{ t - 1 }( m + st - rj ) msr(m;s;r;x) = m + x + ∑_{ t = 2 }^{ ∞ }( mstr(m;s;r;t) x^t / t! ) How to translate msr(m;s;r;x) into Wolfram Alpha syntax? For example, if I need to get the square root of 100, I want to be able to simply enter: msr(1; 0; -2; 99/200) and obtain the result.

Instead, it oscillates . - It is not "closed" either for individual terms, because they do not settle into a single value or a finite set of values. Instead, we focus on the convergence of the series formed by these terms, which leads to the MRB constant.

There are numbers so big it exceeds the space we have on this earth. I have read up an article on it and it stated that our earth is estimated to only 10^50 atoms wide. I noticed that starting at 96717311574016^8^16 Wolfram alpha no longer computes decimal approximations; it only gives me a power of ten representation. A power of ten representation isn't useful in knowing the numbers digits to a given precision. Has it have to do the fact that we only occupy so much space on this planet?

I'm using the following API, but it no longer provides a step-by-step solution as it did previously. A few days ago, the step-by-step breakdown stopped appearing in the response. Here is the API query I'm using: https://api.wolframalpha.com/v2/query?appid=MYAPI_ID&input=(3x-5)(6x+16)&podstate=Step-by-step+solution&output=json&mag=2 I always include "podstate=Step-by-step solution" so that i get the step by stem solution for my math question. However, recently, the step by step solution stopped showing in the api output result. Could you help me understand why this is happening and how i can resolve it? Ahmed Ahmed 2024-12-01T06:19:29Z https://community.wolfram.com/groups/-/m/t/3330117 Hello all, Thank you for taking the time to read my post, I have wasted hours and hours trying to figure this out! If anybody can possibly tell me **how in the world I can call the API as well as have it return the "step-by-step" instructions for each query** (if available of course) I would be beyond grateful!!! I hope I didn't just waste 60 bucks for nothing! I have been messing around with it for probably over 30-40 hours and cannot get any of the useful info returned, such as: podstate, step-by-step solution, etc. I can get the result returned, but have messed with many of the various "Parameters" to return what I need or want it to, and have had no luck. I can get it to return most items, but not the pod that has access to, or can see, the "step-by-step" solution. Please help!! I am a pro member, I actually got the pro membership specifically for this reason. I use wolfram in OpenAI and I love it, and now I want to integrate it into my "tutor" workflow to study for various math exams, tests, among many other mathematics applied use cases. If mathmatica can call the API for step by step, why wouldn't the standard WolframAlpha API? I have tried many of the API's, and the only two that do somewhat well are the "converstaional" and the "full results" but neither is returning anything that has to do with the "step-by-step" solution, nor any pods that can see or return any info regarding these pods/subpods. Just so you can all see, this is an example of one of the **many** http get requests I have made and sent to the API. Dont be too critical on it, as I am merely trying to tinker to get it to return the output that I am in desperate need of! Thank you all again for your time and I look very very forward to reading any responses I may get. **I am very eager to put this project to rest!** HTTP Request Example: // Define the API endpoint and parameters const apiUrl = 'http://api.wolframalpha.com/v2/query'; const appid = 'MY_APP_ID'; const input = `${$json.message.content.equation} step-by-step`; const format = 'plaintext,mathml'; const output = 'JSON'; // Construct the full URL with query parameters const url = `${apiUrl}?appid=${appid}&input=${encodeURIComponent(input)}&format=${format}&output=${output}`; try { // Perform the HTTP GET request const response = await this.helpers.httpRequest({ method: 'GET', url: url, json: true, }); return [ { json: response, }, ]; } catch (error) { // Handle any errors that occur during the request throw new Error(`HTTP Request failed: ${error.message}`); } Christropher Chausse 2024-11-28T03:37:01Z https://community.wolfram.com/groups/-/m/t/3258257 I hope this message finds you well.
