Mathcad 7 Professional Fact Sheet
for Windows 95 and NT
Calculate. Collaborate. Communicate. With Mathcad 7, you've got the power to
do it all.
Start with a live, free-form interface that lets you enter equations in real
math notation. That gives you instant feedback as you try different approaches.
That allows you to add text, graphs, and more. Put it all together and what have
you got?
You've got Mathcad 7. Which means you've got the power to solve an
incredibly wide range of problems. For example, Mathcad lets you tackle
everything from derivatives to simultaneous equations. From hypothesis testing
to curve fitting. And with Mathcad 7 Professional, you can do more. Much more.
Like solve specialized systems of differential equations, perform advanced
matrix operations, and use Mathcad's patented live symbolics. You can even write
your own functional programs that are live and fully integrated with the Mathcad
environment.
With Mathcad 7 Professional, you've also got the power to access all the
information you need. Quickly and easily. In the new Mathcad Resource Center,
you'll find hundreds of standard formulas you can drag into your worksheet. Plus
over 300 QuickSheets to help you perform all kinds of common tasks. As well as a
two-part Treasury Guide to solving and programming in Mathcad.
You've even got the power to share your work with others. Whether it's by
using Mathcad's extensive document preparation capabilities, or by taking
advantage of built-in Web connections and LAN integration to connect with your
colleagues.
Discover why Mathcad 7 sets a new standard for technical
calculations.
Mathcad 7. Clearly, it's the software of choice for today's top technical
professionals. All over the world.
Why? Because as a problem-solving environment, Mathcad has no equal.
Its unique worksheet interface lets you enter equations and build graphs
wherever you want -- in real math notation. And because that interface is live,
you get instant feedback as you try different approaches.
You can also annotate with text. Work with content from other sources.
Collaborate with others on the Web or a LAN. And much more. In short, Mathcad
makes exploring and solving a wide range of technical problems -- as well as
documenting and communicating their solutions -- easier than ever before.
And new Mathcad 7 Professional takes you to the next level, with a long list
of powerful new features.

Add Mathcad to your network, and the benefits start to multiply.
When you deploy Mathcad over your LAN, you and everyone else on your team can
take full advantage of its communication, collaboration and project management
capabilities. What's more, you'll save money -- and get access to enhanced
support.
No wonder Mathcad is now in over half the Fortune 500 companies, as well as
more than 500 government offices, from NASA to the Department of Energy.
When your team is standardized on Mathcad, you'll:
Improve productivity. Enjoy a ten-fold reduction in initial creation and
rework time. Divide and conquer large projects by distributing tasks to team
members. Review and reassemble the results quickly.
Capture knowledge more easily. Because Mathcad is self-documenting, projects
and computations are always ready for archiving, re-access, and
re-utilization.
Comply with standards automatically. As the only calculation tool with live
math in real math notation, Mathcad helps you meet all internal and external
standards, such as Microsoft Office compatibility and even ISO 9000
compliance.
Manage projects more effectively. Built-in project management features make
sure everyone stays on top of all the details.
Save money. Network and corporate volume purchasers save anywhere from15%-75%
per seat. The more seats you buy, the more you save.
Enjoy enhanced technical support. You'll automatically qualify for the
Mathcad Premium Support Policy, which gives you a personal 800 number to call
for technical support, priority e-mail service, and free software updates and
information.
