Hi Computer Science,
You may purchase Mathcad Prime 8 (student edition) for a one-year term at a heavily discounted price here: https://store.ptc.com/DRHM/store?Action=DisplayProductDetailsPage&SiteID=ptc&Locale=en_US&ThemeID=21925700&Env=BASE&productID=5365844200&categoryID=10011800
You may also try the full functionality of Mathcad Prime for free here for 30 days, but after that time it will turn into an "Express" version that will lack some features you may find key, such as programming: https://www.mathcad.com/en/try-and-buy/mathcad-express-free-download
I manage the Creo and PTC Mathcad YouTube channels for PTC, as well as all PTC Mathcad marketing in general.
