The goal of this site pretty much says it all:
“Wolfram|Alpha’s long-term goal is to make all systematic knowledge immediately computable and accessible to everyone. We aim to collect and curate all objective data; implement every known model, method, and algorithm; and make it possible to compute whatever can be computed about anything.”
Seriously, once you start digging around this site, you’ll not only find an insane amount of information on virtually every subject, but numerous ways to manipulate it as well. Some excellent homework help here!
