Meet the Mathcad Users: The Florida DOT Structures Group
Next in the series of our ‘Meet the Mathcad Users’ (see what Eva had to say last time) is the staff from the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Structures Design Office. Thanks to modern-day luxuries and technology, interviews can be conducted in myriad ways. For this one, I traded a few email messages with some folks over at FDOT, and …
Face to Face with the Future of Engineering Calculations
Jamie worked in the Mathcad Business Unit at PTC for two weeks learning Mathcad Prime 1.0 and then using Prime to develop and produce videos demonstrating algebraic concepts. Jamie’s goal was to use Mathcad as a platform for creating high-quality algebra tutorials on topics that his peers find challenging. He began his project by researching videos already available on the Internet (http://www.khanacademy.org/) …
The Mathcad Challenge
Ok, ok – I have already posted two articles about the upcoming PlanetPTC Virtual – Mathcad event. If you haven’t registered yet, you may just not have time next Thursday. However, I didn’t want the day of the event to arrive without having mentioned this goodie to you: You can showcase your expertise and win a $100 AMEX gift card! …
Predictive Engineering with Mathcad

Some Figures… Mathcad is About Math, Isn’t It?
Hi everyone, As PlanetPTC Virtual – Mathcad is coming near, I’d like to throw a couple of figures at you When we did the first virtual conference last year, we had no idea how this would be accepted by the customers. We had, of course, tested the technology, but could only hope you’d like the idea as much as we …

Mathcad A – Z: F is for Fast Fourier Transforms
Fourier transforms are used in signal processing to analyze signals. Fast Fourier transforms (FFTs) are a numerical method for expressing the frequency content of a set of data measured over time. The data are often continuous, constituting a waveform. To work with the data numerically, they are sampled at regular time intervals at some sample rate. Mathcad 15.0 and earlier …
