In this chapter, you will learn Mathcad skills that will totally change the way you approach problems. We will encourage you to adopt this new approach by showing you problem-solving techniques that relate to what you are learning about Mathcad. For example, when you learn about units in Mathcad we will discuss how this new skill can be used to double-check your answers.
To start off this Tutorial we show why Mathcad provides an inherently better environment for solving problems than that of paper and a calculator typically used by students of math and science.
