Mathcad

More than 250,000 professionals worldwide are using Mathcad to perform, document, manage and share calculation and design work. The unique Mathcad visual format and easy-to-use whiteboard interface integrate live, standard mathematical notation, text and graphs into a single worksheet–making Mathcad ideal for knowledge capture, calculation reuse and engineering collaboration. Mathcad lets individuals work with update-able, interactive designs, so users can capture the critical methods and values behind each of their engineering projects.

Mathcad’s XML architecture enables organizations to go beyond powerful calculation. It delivers an open-engineering data model, enabling publishing, collaboration and integration, especially when deployed as an organizational standard. As engineers work, Mathcad automatically creates an auditable trail of documented calculations, thus simplifying compliance, reporting, verification and troubleshooting. These capabilities have made Mathcad the world’s most widely used engineering calculation tool.

How Mathcad Works

Mathcad lets you type equations just as you would write them on a blackboard or in a reference book. There is no difficult syntax to learn; you simply type in your equations and then see the results. You can use Mathcad equations to solve just about any math problem you can think of, symbolically or numerically. You can place text anywhere on the worksheet to document your work.

Mathcad lets you easily set your preferred unit system and freely mix units of measure, ultimately maintaining dimensional integrity and preventing unit mistakes. You can work in your preferred unit system, or switch to another system for a particular set of equations.

Mathcad simplifies and streamlines documentation, critical to communicating and meeting business and quality assurance standards. By combining equations, text and graphics in a single worksheet, Mathcad makes it easy to keep track of the most complex calculations.
