PTC Mathcad Prime is a digital engineering notebook enabling engineers, mathematicians, and scientists to solve, analyze, document, and share their calculations. It helps users to solve problems accurately the first time numerically and/or symbolically, and then reuse important intellectual property with templates to save time on the next project.

Chose PTC Mathcad
The most obvious and frequent alternative is Microsoft Excel which allows entering formulas. I certainly prefer Mathcad as it permits writing the formulas in the expanded form inside a detailed worksheet. Excel does not offer the same report writing functionality as Mathcad …

I have not found an alternative that is as useful as [PTC Mathcad]. In fact it is exactly what I've been looking for for some time.

I have only used a freeware version called SMath Studio. It has similar functionality but lacks the full experience MathCad offers.

Chose PTC Mathcad
Unlike MATLAB, MathCad has an interface that resembles more like a sheet of paper rather than a line-by-line coding tool. This enables are more intuitive math building process. However, some may argue that debugging a complicated MathCad program takes more effort than …

MathCAD is easier to learn and faster to start with. It has more user-friendly interface and conventional style toolbox and GUI. It is really good for the beginners and those who are afraid of complex math.

It is great for any manual calculation. You can lay it out as you would on paper, but the math is calculated instantly, similar to how it is in excel. It is superior to either method for most engineering calculations. Being able to copy-and-paste is very helpful for considering multiple scenarios. In some situations where you need to do the same calculation on an array of numbers, Excel is still faster.

Higher-order math, despite symbolics, become tedious and variable nomenclature isn't as forgiving as other programs. Due to it's sheet-like nature, the greater the complexity the more bothersome the screen usage becomes. But it's a trade-off between a sketchpad-like interface or lines and lines of code. Pick your poison but MathCad was our choice.
