PoW taking place: math problem-solving moment of the week
-
"I found this problem really fun because it was one of those
problems where you have a lot of 'A-HA!' moments and get really
excited because you know you're millimeters away from
finishing it."

Wolfram|Alpha Now Goes One Step at a Time
http://blog.wolframalpha.com/2012/09/26/
introducing-expanded-step-by-step-math-solutions/
Wolfram|Alpha recently expanded the functionality of its
step-by-step solution feature.
The new interface lets you walk through all of W|A's
step-by-step solutions at your own pace, revealing only one
step at a time. For common math problems, the
Mathematica-powered computational knowledge engine even shows
multiple ways to find the solutions.
With this expansion, W|A also rolls out three new math content
areas that now feature step-by-step solutions:
-
solving equations
-
rational arithmetic
-
verifying trigonometric identities
