Hello, netters!
Will any one share their experiences of using mathcad, please! I am thinking
of learning to be proficient in that piece of software so that I may
use it to my advantage in my numerical analysis work and studies.
Instead of learning how an application program works, would it be
wiser to just write your own code to do what you want. I am also
thinking of learning SPSS/PC and SAS/PC for my work!
Will summarize and post the responses.
Thanks for a million!
Leung

I have found MathCad to be VERY easy to learn, especially with its format for setting-up the equations in the same format you would use on paper (ie integration, matrix, etc). The help menu is also very good. MathCad's interactive environment is a big advantage, and most people would not be able to duplicate its flexibility by writing their own code. With the ability to graph interactively, a very nice page can be printed which includes relative equations as well as plotted results.

SolverQ is more of a numerical analysis program than MATHCAD. -- --russ (nelson@clutx [.bitnet | .clarkson.edu]) I'm a right-to-lifer -- everyone has a right to earn a living sufficient to feed himself and his family.
