Mathematicas logo is a three-dimensional
polyhedron affectionately called Spikey.
attractive solid known as the
rhombic hexecontahedron
rhombic refers to the fact that the faces of the
solid consist of rhombi (rhombus)
hexecontahedron is a word derived from the
Greek
rhombic hexecontahedron means 60-faced
solid
Where each face stands for information

The Wolfram Alpha service provides a web-based API for clients
Two general classes of queries. ..Higher and Lower Level
Both levels of the API are implemented using HTTP GET requests.
The highest-level API is called the Query API
There are two functions in the Query API: query and validatequery.
The query function is the main function and it is accessed by a URL
The validatequery function is a specialized function hat performs
only the initial parsing phase .
