Overall Satisfaction with PTC Mathcad
It plays a role of advanced engineering calculator. It is used mostly to analyze a data quickly. I don't know how intensively it is used at the department or organization. MathCAD has been my own long-term preference when it comes to a basic processing of engineering data and graphical visualization.
Pros
- Fitting the experimental data with an arbitrary fitting function and visualization of the results
- Writing a technical document with lots of mathematical calculations, that should look a kind of professional
- Operation with arrays and matrices, processing of raw data with arbitrary methods
Cons
- A limited number of file formats for export, especially those that support visual graphics in vector format
- Interfaces for mathematics and equations with MathType and LaTeX / MikTex / Tex
- Limited functionality for visualization of data in a 3D format
- It accelerates issuing reports and writing documents
- it improves the visual quality of the reports/documents
- It helps to make the decisions faster
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.
