Getting Started Tutorial

With PTC Mathcad, the tasks of performing, documenting, and sharing calculations are integrated into one seamless process, substantially increasing your productivity. This tutorial demonstrates PTC Mathcad's core, essential functionality, including the user interface, entering and editing equations, defining and evaluating variables and functions, working with vectors and matrices, creating and formatting plots, and formatting your worksheets.

Solving Tutorial

With PTC Mathcad solvers and solve blocks, you can perform solving and optimization. You can find the solution for a system of equations with multiple unknowns, and you can parameterize the equations to analyze the parameter’s impact on the solution. You can work with linear and nonlinear equations and with differential equations. You can also maximize or minimize a function.

Programming Tutorial

With PTC Mathcad programming you can write multiline functions and define iterative calculations. You can define complex comparisons and branching, and you can return values. When you define a program, you can combine PTC Mathcad expressions and use iterations for compactness and efficiency. You can use programming operators to specify local assignments to variables or functions, loop over calculations, conditionally evaluate branches, add breakpoints, trap errors, and return values.
