Little over a week from now it will be Christmas, and you know what that means – you will have to give your friends and loved ones a nice gift. If you can’t think of something to gift the people you care about, I have an interesting suggestion for you: why not get them something that can prove to be immensely useful, like a nice Wolfram Alpha app?

As a little reminder, Wolfram Alpha is the computational knowledge engine developed by British-born physicist and Mathematica creator Stephen Wolfram. The Wolfram Alpha apps bring the awesome functionality of the computational knowledge engine to your iDevice. You have the power of Wolfram Alpha at your fingertips, no matter where you go.

Now would be the ideal time to get a Wolfram Alpha app as a gift for someone you care about. The question “why?” is going through your head right about now. The fact that Christmas Eve is only a few days away could be an answer, but it isn’t. The answer is that Wolfram Alpha is offering select apps for half the price. Until the end of the month you can get Wolfram Alpha apps 50% off.

“Making your list and checking it twice, but still don’t know what to get for the last few people on your list? Gift a Wolfram app! From now through December 31, select apps are 50% off. We have apps for snowbirds and travelers, students and teachers, history buffs, word game enthusiasts, casino lovers, lawyers, network administrators, and lifelong learners—everyone, really!” said the Wolfram Alpha Team.

On top of the select apps that are offered for 50% off until December 31st, there are several other Wolfram Alpha apps that you can get for the very affordable of just 99 cents. You could get the Wolfram Password Generator Reference App for example, or the Wolfram Tides Calculator, or several other apps.
