Wolfram|Alpha and CDF format and command Manipulate

Abstract

Two years ago, the website www.wolframalpha.com was launched which uses for its calculations the core of the program Mathematica. One year ago, CDF (Computable Document Format) format was introduced which provides interactive elements of the program Mathematica to wider public.

In this paper we take a closer look at how to use Wolfram|Alpha and the CDF format at high school.
