Another reason why Google rocks
Posted by Mike on August 22nd, 2003
So Google now has a calculator. Try typing in some of the following into Google, or via your Google bar (or just click the link):
- how many millilitres in 13.5 ounces
- what is 2 times the radius of the earth
- square root (3 * 4) to the 7
- square root (3 * 4) to the e
- square root (3 * 4) to the e times i
- square root (3 * 4) to the e times i over 12
- 5 factorial cosinr 12 (deliberate spelling mistake
)
This is sweet.
From a technical point of view, there’s a tonne of natural language processing going on, and considering everything its blisteringly quick.
UPDATE
OK, finding new stuff in this thing has me hooked.
- 200 miles over 4 hours in kph
- 65 centigrade in farenheit (I don’t know how to spell!)
