 Hi, I'm Bob Birch, Web Technology Specialist with North Dakota State University Agriculture and University Extension, and I want to talk to you a little bit and show you a little bit about Wolfram Alpha. You'll find Wolfram Alpha a computational knowledge engine at www.Wolfram, W-O-L-F-R-A-M, alpha-A-L-P-H-A dot com. And although it looks a bit like a search engine on first glance, this is not a search engine at all, but as it purports, a computational knowledge engine. And the idea is that questions or calculations can be put into Wolfram Alpha and using a collection of data unique to Wolfram Alpha and its algorithms that it uses to find the information, it will return an answer to you, not just search results, but an answer. Let's use a real simple example to start with, and that's just a mathematical equation. So if we are looking for 7 times 19 minus 8, and we click equals here, there we go. You can see here that the input was 7 times 19 minus 8, and the answer is 125. And if that's written out it's 125, and here's the percent decrease. If we subtract 8 from 7 times 19, the percent decrease is 6.015 percent. So that's an example of how Wolfram Alpha can compute for you, but there's other things that we can do with it as well that are not directly mathematically related. Let's go ahead and do a computation for feeder cattle futures, something that some of our constituents in Ag and University Extension might be interested in. And here are the computations for feeder cattle futures. You can see here that Wolfram Alpha tells you that it's assuming that you're talking about four traded feeder cattle futures, and you can switch that if you are not talking about four traded, you can switch to just feeder cattle futures. But let's take a look at the information that's provided here by searching Wolfram Alpha's database. You can see the current quote, the latest quote 102.6 per pound, two hours and 27 minutes ago. So it's the latest updated information. Here we can see the open and close for today. Of course, the close represents the latest quote here, and the days range is in here as well. If we click the More button up here in this section, we'll wait for that to load. Just take a second here for more information to load. We can get some more daily trade information on feeder cattle futures. While that's loading here, let's take a look right down here. You can see there's a graph of the price history over the past year for feeder cattle futures. It shows a minimum of 90 on March 11th, 2009, and just as I'm saying that, you see our more information has pulled up here with contract size, open interest, 20-day volatility, 50-day volatility. So there's our more information about the daily trade for feeder cattle futures, floor-traded feeder cattle futures. And here, again, looking at our graph here, we can look at a year's worth of information, or we can change the time period to three months, six months, two years, five years. One of the neat features of Wolfram Alpha is that this image here with the graph and the other information is clickable and downloadable. So if I click on this, you can see here's the information that I could copy in plain text. But right here, there's a little link for generate image output that will let me download and open an image of this, and then I could utilize that, pasting it into a PowerPoint or a document or those kinds of things. Here's even more information about feeder cattle futures. A lot of great information on a number of topics on Wolfram Alpha. We'll quickly take a look at information for a location like Fargo, North Dakota. And you can see here as that loads, we can see city population. We can see where Fargo is on a map. We can link to Google Maps for a satellite image of Fargo, and we can see the coordinates of Fargo. If we're looking for global positioning coordinates for Fargo, North Dakota, there they are right there. A lot of information about Fargo, including nearby cities and much more. WolframAlpha.com is the site. Go there and try, type, hello, and just see what you get.
