Users can change starting parameters of a problem and watch as new output graphs are drawn before their eyes. You can change any equation and immediately see the effect of the numerical calculations of the solution. Mathcad uses a natural mathematical notation within a word processor. Students need no wandering in a maze of spreadsheet cells and they need no extensive knowledge of a programming language to handle and understand the underlying model. Students can see the equations that are being solved, and they have access to more complex models than those which are solvable by hand.
Teachers can easily transform their lecture notes into an interactive electronic text.
This gives Mathcad an enormous potential as a teaching aid for economic models, based on mathematic and quantitative methodes. But this doesn t allow any interaction. Some examples include animations made with Mathcad. Documents submitted to this site will not be checked for copyright.
