Wolfram Alpha is the best resource app on the iPad. It has a very STEM tilt, but works great for language as well as math and science. As an education and productivity app, this cannot be beat.

In an educational context, you can have students do real time calculations with moving celestial objects, evaluate expressions, and of course do advanced mathematic modeling. It is a great way to give the power of science and math to students.

Summary

Wolfram Alpha is a great app. It allows you to do calculations in real time – like currency conversion accurate to the minute, or location of the planets up to the second. In an education setting it can be a powerful resource for students in Science and Math fields. A great purchase and an app that will keep on giving as you get more used to its modified keyboard and interface.
