A useful thought

I suppose I do not know the entire functionality of Prime 1.0, however, MS Office 2010 has developed a writer that with mouse moves writes equations of complex forms very easily.

Now if Mathcad could take the MathML from Math Input Panel, this would be an essence.

I'm sorry I just can't really see the benefit of that.

The benefit is in the ease of writing into Mathcad. " I am just thinking out loud" . Excuse me that I am not an essential programmer. I am a Civil Engineering programmer.

Just saying, in essence, it took me less than 10 seconds to write this equation. In real time Mathcad, it could take 30 seconds to a minute. For a novice, the time increase is suberb. Perhaps for a veteran, the time difference seems less significant. I think overall, if a team would like to increase users, the learning curve could be reduced for basic techniques.

OK, now I see your point, but I would have to say that I found Mathcad relatively easy to learn, well the basics anyway.

I wouldn't call myself an expert and it defiantly wouldn't take me 30 seconds to type that out.

An essential programmer........ Not quite sure what that is to be honest.
