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! Gábor Terék 2026-03-20T11:48:52Z https://community.wolfram.com/groups/-/m/t/3662573 Please note that as of very recently, this no longer works: WolframAlpha["integral (E^(cos x))((cos x)^2)(sin x) dx", {{"IndefiniteIntegral", 2}, "Content"}, PodStates -> {"IndefiniteIntegral__Step-by-step solution"}] as it pruduces: `Missing["NotAvailable"]`. After hours of searching, I stumbled on a solution/workaround. First note that the middle line: {{"podid",subpodid},"property"} is ostensibly not necessary (I will return it later), so one can invoke: WolframAlpha["integral (E^(cos x))((cos x)^2)(sin x) dx", PodStates -> {"IndefiniteIntegral__Step-by-step solution"}] This provides the step-by-step solution, however all of the pods are now there. In addition, one would need to click on "Show all steps" for all of them to appear. Sometimes the button is "Show step-by-step solution," and then another button for showing all steps. Apparently, due to these extra buttons, WRI added (did I miss the memo?) an undocumented `PodState` of `"IndefiniteIntegral__Show all steps"` (or for other podids: `"Result__Show all steps"`, etc.). This solves the "button" problem, however all of the pods are still present. So we return the `{{"podid",subpodid},"property"}` line, however we do not want only the `subpodid` of 2, but rather all of them. Putting this all together, and wrapping it in a `Column[]` in order to space things out a bit vertically, we have: Column[ WolframAlpha[ "integral (E^(cos x))((cos x)^2)(sin x) dx", {{"IndefiniteIntegral", All}, "Content"}, PodStates -> { "IndefiniteIntegral__Step-by-step solution", "IndefiniteIntegral__Show all steps" } ][[All, 2]], Left, 2 ] Aaron Naiman 2026-03-15T12:07:57Z https://community.wolfram.com/groups/-/m/t/3659892 &[Wolfram Notebook][1] [1]: https://www.wolframcloud.com/obj/fab0aaa2-5d63-4566-8eca-4240f66f7920 Daniel Carvalho 2026-03-14T01:14:56Z https://community.wolfram.com/groups/-/m/t/3632161 I was trying to use the problem generator to generate some calculus problems however whenever I entire the site I just get a white screen and there is no GUI whatsoever I’ve tried checking online about this however I haven’t found anything I’ve also tried a number of troubleshooting options with no success does anyone know what’s going on? kayson vidal 2026-02-01T20:35:19Z https://community.wolfram.com/groups/-/m/t/3604903 For reducing such input from a range (-infinity; +infinity) to the target interval (-π; +π] on which trigonometric functions shall operate, the original input must be taken modulo 2π. Performance of such a modulo reduction on limited hardware systems depends on the number of digits you provide for 2π. Said number may be in the order of some hundred to some thousand. How can I specify this number for WolframAlpha? WolframAlpha understands my request to give me, e.g., 700 digits of 2π and returns them properly. But if and when I try to compute a given real number modulo (700 digits of 2π) it fails to decode my wish and, alas, doesn't advise me what to do instead. Any hint in this matter is appreciated. Thanks in advance. Walter Bonin 2026-01-11T23:23:02Z https://community.wolfram.com/groups/-/m/t/3604186 Hello Community,I’ve been exploring different ways to teach the "Chain Rule" to students who find the standard Leibniz notation $dy/dx = dy/du \cdot du/dx$ a bit abstract when applied to nested functions like $f(g(h(x)))$.While `D[f[g[x]], x]` in Wolfram Language gives the perfect result instantly, I’ve found that students often benefit from seeing a "Step Tree" or a "Decomposition Table" to understand which rule is being applied at which depth. I’ve been building a project to automate this specific pedagogical breakdown: [Derivative Calculus Solver][1]. It focuses on showing the intermediate "substitution" steps that occur before reaching the final simplified form.My Question: > When handling highly nested functions, do you find it more effective to teach the "Inside-Out" method (starting with the innermost function) or the "Outside-In" (the standard Power/Chain rule approach)?For example, in the following WL code, the result is clear, but the "logic path" can be interpreted in two ways:Code snippet(* A nested example for discussion *) f[x_] := Cos[Log[x^2 + 1]]^3 D[f[x], x] // TraditionalForm I’ve tried to align the logic on my site with the `WolframAlpha["derivative of...", "Steps"]` output, but I’m curious if the community has thoughts on how to better visualize "partial results" for students who get lost in the algebra. Looking forward to your insights!

But, if instead Wolfram|Alpha is queried directly for the definite integral between x=2.1 and x=2.3, it returns `0.0937041 + 0.0475201 i`, as shown [here][2]. What is going on? The two methods of evaluation seem to agree for other integration bounds. E.g., for the integral between x=2.3 and x=2.5, both query types yield `0.0922966 + 0.0442528 i`, as shown [here][3] and [here][4]. Does anyone know what's happening for the integral between x=2.1 and x=2.3?

For those of us lucky enough to work closely with him, his absence leaves a deep void. He brought an irreplaceable blend of curiosity, creativity, and humility to everything he did. Our long meetings, where we'd dive into unconventional ideas in physics and find ways to implement them in Mathematica, often stretched past hours, but no one ever minded. With Michael, even the most abstract idea could spark a new direction, a novel prototype, or an unexplored corner of science. He didn't just think outside the box, he rebuilt it entirely, quietly and kindly. His codes weren't always optimized for performance, but they were original and beautiful. I have never seen anyone so professional in prototyping novel ideas computationally; and this was our joint passion for Mathematica, as we believed it is one of the best tool, if not the best, for this purpose. One can find a few examples of Michael's style of thinking in the [Wolfram Blog][2], [Wolfram Demonstration Project][3], or [Wolfram Community][4]. He was also the author of four seminal books: "[The Mathematica GuideBooks][5]" (four volumes). He had a deep grasp of the history and architecture of Mathematica, with a passion for physics, especially quantum theory, and a genius for applying technology in unexpected ways. Michael Trott joined Wolfram Research in 1994 and was a cornerstone of the company for over 30 years. As Chief Scientist of Wolfram|Alpha, his fingerprints are on thousands of algorithms and innovations, from computational art to physical constants, from parsing human input to building bridges between theoretical physics and computation. The [Wolfram Quantum Framework][6], as a small example, would not have been possible without his support and contributions. Michael was encyclopedic in knowledge, yet endearingly humble. He read hundreds of papers, built massive daily digests on LLMs, mentored researchers across physics, math, and engineering; and still worried whether he had anything "original" to offer before a scheduled talk at the University of Vienna (see the material he'd prepared for this talk from [this link][7]; we even had a dry-run together, to discuss the content repeatedly). His presence was magnetic. He showed up early to Zoom calls (Wolfram Research has many remote employees, including myself, even before COVID pandemic) and sparked thoughtful conversation before meetings began. He didn't just build things but he shared them generously. He brought humanity to everything he touched. Whether discussing quantum fields or life under East Germany's Stasi, he made space for your story too. He helped others grow, quietly and consistently, always leading by example. Toward the end, we spoke about the multiverse; you were certain we'd meet again. In those final days, lying in your hospital bed, we found ourselves deep in conversation about the quantum-to-classical transition and nonlinearities. Thank you, Michael, for everything. You showed so many of us what it truly means to be both a scientist and a human being.
