Book Description

September 9, 2006 0131890735 978-0131890732 2
This comprehensive updated book presents Mathcad as a means of solving engineering problems, since engineering is about finding solutions and letting other people know about them. Mathcad help finds solutions and communicate those solutions to others. Basically, there are two reasons for using Mathcad in engineering. First, it can handle the problems engineers encounter every day. Second, when an engineer has solved a problem using Mathcad, the result is a professional worksheet with the equations in readable form and results clearly displayed. With its practical and clear step-by-step procedures, this book demonstrates how to use Mathcad and shows what the Mathcad worksheet looks like through every step of the process. Each chapter opens with a lead-in describing one of the frontiers of engineering, such as global warming, biomedical engineering, optics, and risk analysis. These themes are also found throughout the book. It demonstrates how Mathcad can be used to solve real problems in various engineering disciplines, such as chemical processes, electronics, and biomedicine, as well as some that will appeal to mechanical and civil engineers. An essential Mathcad reference guide for every professional engineer.

2.0 out of 5 stars Useless, October 25, 2007
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Introduction to MathCAD 13, 2nd Edition (Paperback)
This book couldn't be more useless than it is. It goes through only the most basic functions of Mathcad and if you have used this program for more than a month or 2 there is going to be little here to boost your skill set. It is written more like a text book, with homework problems and everything, than a reference book.

This program is BARELY supported by Mathworks as it is and as such not a whole lot of people use it, though I love it for semiconductor work due to pretty print. There aren't alot of books out there on Mathcad so good luck struggling through the more complex tasks in Mathcad because this book won't help you much.

2.0 out of 5 stars Book is a waste for anyone with even a little Mathcad experience, July 4, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Introduction to MathCAD 13, 2nd Edition (Paperback)
I had hoped to use this book as a reference or to brush up on Mathcad while in grad school. It turned out to be pretty useless and you are much better off scouring the web for information on this program. It is a text book and has a bunch of problems with no solutions provided. This book wouldn't even have been useful during my undergrad to be honest.
