Keywords

💡Wolfram|Alpha

Wolfram|Alpha is a computational knowledge engine or answer engine developed by Wolfram Research. It is designed to generate answers to factual queries directly by computing the answer from structured data, rather than providing a link to a website. In the context of the video, it is used to demonstrate how to obtain step-by-step solutions for mathematical problems for free, which is the main theme of the tutorial.

💡step-by-step solutions

Step-by-step solutions refer to the method of breaking down a complex problem into smaller, more manageable steps, which are then solved sequentially to reach the final solution. In the video, the presenter shows how to access these solutions in Wolfram|Alpha, which is crucial for understanding the process of solving mathematical problems in a structured way.

💡free

In the context of the video, 'free' refers to accessing the step-by-step solutions in Wolfram|Alpha without incurring any cost. The tutorial aims to guide viewers on how to legally obtain these solutions at no charge, which is an attractive feature for those looking to solve problems without financial barriers.

💡Wolfram account

A Wolfram account is necessary to access certain features of Wolfram|Alpha, including the Notebook Edition. In the script, the presenter guides viewers on how to create a temporary email address to sign up for a Wolfram account, which is essential for accessing the step-by-step solutions for free.
