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/) …
Solving Systems of Equations through Mathcad Solve Blocks, part 2
Sometimes solve blocks cannot find a solution. Read on to see how to resolve some issues. Errors and Problems with No Solutions Sometimes there might be no solution, or Mathcad might not find a solution. In either case, Find displays the error message “No solution was found.” The problem asks for numbers u and v that add to both 2 and 3, …
