I needed help earlier today involving a proof for all idempotent matrices, but I couldn't find anything online. Looks like this is just a computational tool

You can enter two publicly held companies for stock price comparisons with even greater detail, such as comparison charts, p/e ratios and the like.  It's Google but with a brain. Good stuff.

Google $390.00
Microsoft $20.22

Hopefully since I'm taking calculus this semester.
