Students (or their teachers) choose which topic they want to study and the difficulty level (beginner, intermediate or advanced) and the system will generate a problem. Using the tools is pretty straightforward. As the company notes in today’s announcements, the material for students in elementary and secondary schools closely follows the Common Core Standards initiative. The difficulty of the questions can be tuned down for students in elementary school and tuned up for those in college calculus classes. Right now, the Generator covers six subjects: arithmetic, number theory, algebra, calculus, linear algebra and statistics. The Problem Generator – which is available to all Wolfram Alpha Pro subscribers now – creates random practice questions for students, and Wolfram Alpha then helps them find the answers step-by-step. Today, the Wolfram Alpha team is launching a new service for learners, the Wolfram Problem Generator, that turns the “computational knowledge engine” on its head.
That makes it a pretty good tool for cheating, but not necessarily for learning.
If you’re studying math or science, you are probably pretty familiar with Wolfram Alpha as a tool for figuring out complicated equations.
