Happy New Year! To kick off the Mathcad blog with style in 2012, we have a new blog post titled, "Symbolic Calculation Receives "Very High Marks". This is a continuation of our last post which was all about Mathcad Prime 2.0's improved Symbolic Calculation functionality. If you were caught up in the holiday season, make sure you read both now!
Today's post is all about how Mathcad Prime 2.0's Symbolic Calculation functionality can benefit you. You will also get a chance to read what a beta-tester, Nathan Hunsaker has to say about Symbolic Calculation in Mathcad Prime 2.0. Here's a quick excerpt:
"Think about how much easier your job could be with Mathcad Prime 2.0 allowing you to set up the right form of a formula before plugging in the numbers and then having routine updates to downstream computations, managed automatically. This update of mixed symbolic and numeric calculations can help you to keep documents up to date while you input parameters and change formulae. Symbolic calculation even lets you put derivation steps that are often done on paper right in the document, making documents easy to read, easy to understand, and easy to verify.
No matter what you are doing—transferring knowledge, setting up standard calculations, or verifying and validating a design—documents with explicit derivation and calculations make the process easier, more effective, and less error prone."
