Partial Differential Equation #2

Hi,

I saw somewhere in wolfram mathematica that it is possible to obtained relatively "easily" the solution of this partial differential equation. Is it possible to obtain somehow the solution also in Mathcad Prime 10?

You know that Prime could not solve differential equations symbolically for a long time.

It relatively new that Prime can solve some simple ordinary ODES symbolically (using "solve"), but still no PDEs.

Its just a few version that Prime re-implemented the "pdesolve" command which, similarly to "odesolve" is a numeric only feature.

Then what do you think that are the strengths of Mathcad Prime compared with wolfram mathematica, matlab, maple, etc (which are able to do this, and even more)? Why someone will want to still use/stick with Mathcad Prime for future?

Good question! 🙂

The handling of units and the whiteboard interface, which allows the program to be used like a mathematical sketchpad and the associated short training period as well as the good readability, even by people who are not familiar with the program, are still good arguments for Prime.
Nevertheless, in my opinion, PTC has failed to play in the top league of mathematics programs with Prime and I think that is a great pity.
