The study is a review and analysis of cloud tools that can be used to build mobile learning environment in higher mathematics. The objective of the study is to determine the criteria for choosing a tools of building a mobile learning environment in higher mathematics. Object is a cloud-based tools that can be used to develop the mobile learning environments, and the subject – cloud tools for building mobile learning environments in higher mathematics. The study used methods of analysis and comparison. The result of the study is built mobile learning environment in higher mathematics using Google Apps Education Edition. Thus the main advantage for each user of the environment is the ability to adopt the necessary components focusing on their own needs and opportunities.

This paper examines the ways of different types inquiries to Wolfram|Alpha, in particular, the possibility of natural language queries. The characteristic of mobile access to Wolfram|Alpha are highlighted. The data representation format was considered to visual representations, images, HTML, Mathematica Cell, text view, plain text, MathML, Mathematica input, Mathematica output, audio presentation, special types of Wolfram|Alpha output.The paper aim is the analysis and synthesis of capabilities for requests to Wolfram|Alpha in many ways and opportunities to provide characteristics of mobile access to Wolfram|Alpha.The subject of the study is Wolfram|Alpha as cloud-based service of mathematics learning.In preparing the paper material used case studies and experimental research presentation capabilities of different types of requests to Wolfram|Alpha.Conclusion: Wolfram|Alpha work is based on natural language processing (currently only English), a large library of algorithms and NKS-approach to answering queries. Wolfram|Alpha does not issue a list of links based on query results, and calculates the answer based on their own knowledge base. Service is able to convert data between different measurement units, counting systems, etc.

In the last few years, a new concept of electronic data processing based on cloud computing information technology has been developed in the field of information technology. According to the definition of P. Mell and T. Grens, "cloud computing is a model of providing a service for network access to a common pool of computing (computer) resources (such as network, servers, data storage, software applications, data processing services, etc.) that can be flexibly configured to the different needs of the user and provided with minimal management effort on his part or interaction with the service provider. Cloud computing is gradually entering all areas of society, including education. According to the national project "Open world", which is planned to be realized during 2010-2014 under the aegis of the State agency of Ukraine on investments and management of national projects, informatization of the Ukrainian educational system should be provided on the basis of the cloud computing concept.
