3. Background Detail / Community Evaluation
Mathcad is the industry standard software for applying mathematics and is used widely in the UK academic market and by technical professionals worldwide. Under this agreement Mathsoft Engineering & Education Inc offers Mathcad enterprise edition on a site licence basis. Eduserv Chest has sought extensive advice from the community and there appeared sufficient interest to proceed with this agreement.
4. Products Covered
The Agreement covers Mathcad software and one set of documentation for each platform provided. Mathcad and all Mathsoft owned Libraries and Extension Packs are included for the Large Medium and Small banded sites. For Very Small banded sites, only Mathcad itself is offered.
As at July 2004 the Extension Packs available are: Data Analysis, Wavelets, Solving and Optimising, Image Processing, Signal Processing. The Electronic Libraries available are: Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Civil Engineering.
The annual charges also include support, new versions, system releases and associated new documentation. New platforms will be available within the annual charges if and when commercially available from the publisher.
5. Product Description
Mathcad is the industry standard for applying mathematics. The Mathcad product family allows users to calculate, graph, and communicate technical ideas. Patented electronic math TM technology lets users work with mathematical expressions using standard mathematical notation - but with the added ability to recalculate, view, present, and publish with ease, even to the Web. Features in Mathcad Enterprise address the requirements of large organisations that need to create and manage standards and integrate software into their workflow.
Mathcad functionality can be extended through function extension packs and interoperable software packages, including add-ons dedicated to signal processing, image processing, wavelets, and solving and optimization which are included in this licence arrangement. In addition, civil, electrical and mechanical engineering electronic libraries are also included.
Use of Mathcad is relevant across a wide number of technical disciplines by students to experiment, investigate and simulate, as well as documenting their mathematical work.
Mathcad is applicable across all Engineering disciplines, Maths and Computer Sciences, Physical and Biological Sciences and Economics, Accounting and Business Studies
It can be used as a demonstration tool, a student maths tool, a delivery mechanism for on-line maths courses and as a platform for research calculations and publication.
