Math package makes most of Windows

MATHEMATICS is and should be the basis for all sound electrical engineering. At one time, a sound footing in mathematics was needed in order to understand advanced engineering concepts. But now, with the help of powerful computer-aided-engineering (CAE) programs such as MathCAD from MathSoft (Cambridge, MA), engineers can execute complex calculations and sophisticated algorithms, without memorizing endless pages of functions. The latest rendition (Version 8.0) of this powerful Windows-based program offers 50 new features and increased ease of use.
