The Wolfram Language: A general tool for science education

The Wolfram Language (WL) provides a wide range of scientific data, tools, and algorithms for students of all levels. The WL includes an extensive knowledge base on subjects from the properties of subatomic particles to the details of orbits to the changing magnetic field of the earth. Students can engage with the WL in a wide range of formats. They can start out with simple natural language queries on Wolfram|Alpha, getting guidance on solving complex equations using its step by step functionality. Through the Wolfram Demonstrations Project, they can find thousands of dynamic examples for a wide range of physics concepts. In Wolfram|Alpha Notebook Edition students turn their natural language queries into actual code as well as make use of the Wolfram Function Repository which expands the WL with specialized independently submitted functions. Using the WL fully students can manipulate formulas with explicit units and physical quantities, propagate uncertainty in their calculations, compute eigenvalue and vectors, use advanced tools to solve ODEs and PDEs, analyze results using statistical models, create dynamic and insightful visualizations, employ machine learning algorithms, and utilize a wide range of other computational tools.
