Values for Variable

[the_viking-disa]

Its easy to have a variable x having values from 0 to 355 in increments of 5 by x:=0,5..355

But I want a variable say y, having values starting from 120,125....355,0,5,10....115 (order should be as given).

How do you declare such a variable??

[PhilipOakley]

It would be normal in such cases to use a vector,
and then use a range variable to index it. The
vector can be loaded by a suitable programme line
(probably two steps in your case).

Sorry, I don't know of any. I learned Mathcad the hard way by just using it, reading the Quicksheets & Help files, and looking at the Collaboratory (plus attached files).

______________________________

There are lots of web site Mathcad.
Many have sheets to download.
A serious book about Mathcad would be, let say 2000p [�]. And now with 14 that is not the same at all than 11 and earlier versions, very few constructions will be compatible. Hopefully, by beginning of May 2010, I will have over 500 pages of MCADeng in my web site, just as a "starter tool". The remaining of the most precious content will be by the end of this year.
But no sheet to download, only *.PDF [PDFcreator].

"Mathcad11 Users Guide" - the last good guide (available as pdf in some places)

I also have "Engineering with Mathcad" by Maxfield. ISBN 0-7506-6702-8, which is OK but by then I'd already used the 'Stuart' approach 😉

thanks jmg and philip....
@philip - yah...i did use stuarts method. I need some sort of reference coz I think I'll be working in mathcad for some time.

[rmix22-disabled]

While trial and error and just doing is quite fine and necessary

apart from the Maxfield book(s) I have found
"Philip J. Pritchard - Mathcad, a tool for Engineering Problem Solving" very helpful.

Not 2000 pages but just 200 and very practical.

Don't forget to also check the resource center:

http://www.ptc.com/appserver/mkt/products/resource/list-books.jsp?&rccg=888&nav=5279&sec=5271&top=0&lang=en&section=mathcad_resource_center

Some material is free and worth reading (for example "Inside Mathcad: Solving", Inside Mathcad: Programming"). Some of the documents for older versions still have useful stuff too, so don't ignore them.

Please don't cross post. And especially don't tag new questions onto the end of existing threads when they have nothing to do with the thread.
