Yea, couldn't have finished college without it!

  Second! Those nasty integrals in E&M became a breeze with WA. Our TAs learned to accept the application of a 'WolframAlpha' operator to solve them, since everyone knew they were just busy-work integrals once you got to upper-division classes.

    Quite frankly if you have homework where WA can solve the integrals instead of you having to somehow "massage" them for it to even be able to "digest" it, your upper-division classes are not very upper at all.

      It was the top astrophysics program in the world when I was there. Maybe they should have stepped it up though and gone for top in the universe.

        Plenty of famous places are all PR and little substance. Plus, the difficulty of integrals is not a real metric, but not having come across one that WA can't handle says something.

          And many more walk the talk.
