- .TXT 2 0 4 66
- a3,66,66,193
- MathCAD is a numerical analysis tool that combines math, text and
- graphics in a single, live document. This file will show you some
- of MathCAD's capabilites which you can later try yourself.
- .TXT 5 0 3 25
- a2,25,25,39

- 1. What is MathCAD?
- .TXT 3 4 12 52
- a11,52,52,503
- MathCAD is a numerical analysis tool designed to
- let you solve mathematical problems on your
- Macintosh as you would on a scratchpad -- by
- combining math, text and graphics all together.
- But MathCAD is smarter than your piece of paper
- because it will actually do your calculations for
- you. And unlike a standard piece of note paper
- which can only be reused until you erase a hole in
- the paper, a MathCAD document can be used again and
- again to allow for "what-if" analysis like never
- before.
