[mathcad] Re: actively seeking a replacement for this awful software
Author: Maynard Wright    Posted: Sat, 08 Apr 2006 11:06:13 -0700
I'm still using Mathcad, but I'm also using Octave as it will run under
both Windows and Linux and is freely distributed under the GNU Public
License. The cost is very helpful for a semi-retired, self-employed
person.

I really like the Mathcad interface and Octave lacks that. I can come
pretty close under Linux, though, by leaving the source file open in an
editor such as Kate and moving back and forth between the command line
(only to run the code) and the editor to make changes.

Product Reviews

"Our work ranges from complex medical imaging research to large-scale mapping and diagrams and we need a tool that is able to handle anything we investigate. With Mathcad, we are able to manipulate and analyse our data quickly while at the same time documenting our work, for sharing and publication. We also use it for pilot studies conducted in support of research grant applications. It is an end-to-end tool for research and development."
Dr. Kenneth Castleman, President of Advanced Digital Imaging Research (ADIR), Houston, Texas

"Mathcad is an integral product for my work... With Mathcad, itís easy to disseminate design calculations because the documents look like real math. Thereís very little I canít do in Mathcad. The main benefits come from the format, which resemble a typed set of calculations. These programs are easier to develop by engineers and easier for others to follow and review since the logic is expressed in a familiar manner. The format is what places Mathcad head and shoulders above other programs of a similar function."
Andre Pavlov, Structural Engineer, Florida Department of Transportation
