Appearance
MathCad is a computer algebra system similar to Mathematica, distributed by Mathsoft.
It is oriented around a worksheet, in which equations and expressions are displayed graphically, as opposed to plain text.
Among the capabilities of MathCad are:
- Solving differential equations, with several possible numerical methods
- Graphing functions in two or three Dimensions
- The use of the Greek alphabet (upper and lower case) in both text and equations
- Symbolic calculations
- Vector and matrix operations
- Symbolically solving systems of equations
- Curve Fitting
- Implementing subprograms
- Finding roots of polynomials and functions
- Statistical functions and probability distributions
- Finding eigenvalues and eigenvectors
- Calculations in which units are bound to quantities
