![]() But I really miss some of Mathcad Prime’s most valuable features, including symbolic solving, the block solver, and advanced plots. In my testing of Mathcad Express, I found that its capabilities are sufficient to make it a practical alternative to Excel for most straightforward math problems. Here are the major differences between Express and Prime: It’s a harder question to answer than you might expect. The important question is this: Has PTC included enough capability in Mathcad Express to make it worth getting excited about? ![]() There is a catch, as you might imagine: Some of the functionality in the full version (which is called Mathcad Prime) isn’t included in Mathcad Express. Free, as in “free beer.” Free, as in “the software license never expires.” PTC has just released a version of the software, called Mathcad Express, that is free. Here’s a splashy video that shows what can be done with Mathcad: It’s one of those “just right” programs for engineers: It’s far better for doing engineering calculations than Excel, but is a lot easier to learn and use than Matlab. Mathcad, from PTC, is one of my favorite computer math systems.
