The use of software packages to solve mathematical problems is becoming increasingly popular. This comprehensive book illustrates how Mathcad can be used to solve many mathematical tasks. It also provides the mathematical background for the Mathcad package. Practical Use of Mathcad contains many solutions to basic mathematical tasks for engineering and natural science. It can be used both as a reference and tutorial manual for lecturers and students, and as a practical manual for engineers mathematicians and computer scientists. The latest version of Mathcad V.8 Professional for Windows 95/98 is used throughout.

Practical use of Mathcad...,
By P. Buddha (Wichita, KS) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Practical Use of Mathcad: Solving Mathematical Problems with a Computer Algebra System (Paperback)
A very good reference book. I find it easier to get information than the user guide. The first part covers the basic of the program while the second part (what I like) classifies into each type of mathematical problems with examples. If you know what type of the problem you encoutered, just look through the required chapter you'll find related theory and example. Covered version 7&8.

This review is from: Practical Use of Mathcad: Solving Mathematical Problems with a Computer Algebra System (Paperback)
I can't believe a book advertising MATHCAD 8 is still out there with windows 95/98.
The latest MATHCAD is "11". - that is 3 versions ago. And I have read Springer books, they are okay but they are translation from German. I am suprised with the review -- this is an OLD book and it certainly shouldn't be selling for a NEW price. I had to be critical. I have 8 and just purchased 11.

Not user friendly,
By Kenneth E. Brougher (Las Vegas, NV United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Practical Use of Mathcad: Solving Mathematical Problems with a Computer Algebra System (Paperback)
Perhaps something went wrong in the translation because the book is hard to use. Example: To find subscript in the index you have to know if you want an array subscript or a literal subscript. The user guide is better if you can find one so don't waste your money.
