Wolfram|Alpha Widgets

Wolfram|Alpha Widgets run on Wolfram|Alpha, a web-based computational search engine. Wolfram Alpha widgets are a quick way of making course websites more interactive. A simple example of a Wolfram|Alpha widget is below.

To embed Wolfram|Alpha Widgets in the UBC Wiki, see: http://wiki.ubc.ca/Help:Widgets/WolframAlpha
