Mathematica 7 showing answer step by step

I would like to know the steps Mathematica applies to obtain a result. I have

Limit[n^Log[2, n]/1.001^n, n -> \[Infinity]] 

and Mathematica shows 0 but I want to know how it got that result.

Can Mathematica show step by step solutions?

Mathematica by itself does not give step by step solutions to inputs , however one can add some Mathematica symbols and assumptions , options or conditions to get additional steps or modifications related to the solutions .

How do I get Mathematica to show steps?

To see successive steps, click on the intermediate results and press Shift-Enter.

Does Wolfram Alpha Show steps?

Wolfram|Alpha can demonstrate step-by-step solutions over a wide range of problems.

Mathematica can't do that, it uses algorithms which are very different from what you want to see.

There is a set of functions which will return some information about calculation process for some specific entry, but their outputs are total mess - those are meant as development diagnostic, not as help with homework or preparation for exam.

For some types of problems such as limits, integrals, derivatives etc. you can use Math Assistant on Web, which will describe whole solution process in detail.
