Mathcad is the industry-standard software for solving, documenting, sharing and reusing vital engineering
calculations. Its easy-to-use live mathematical notation, powerful communication capabilities and open
architecture allow engineers and organizations to optimize their critical design and engineering processes.
Mathcad Prime 2.0, the latest version of Mathcad software, is the most advanced and robust version yet, while still
allowing users to reuse older worksheets. Mathcad Prime 2.0 combines ease-of-use with superior performance
and powerful capabilities.
