Introduction

The number of Mathcad online licenses is 100.

Mathcad is a scientific and engineering calculation package. Unlike other popular math packages (Maple, Matlab, Mathematica, etc.), spreadsheet systems (MS Excel, etc.) and programming languages (Pascal, C, etc.), Mathcad allows you to enter mathematical expressions in an almost natural form like in printed texts. Especially compared to spreadsheet systems, it is much easier to follow the progress of calculations in a Mathcad document.

The program can be installed from https://mathcad.edu.ee/

The old address, where forwarding still works (06.04.2023): https://mathcad.hitsa.ee/.

The address of the Mathcad license server name has changed, which is license.mathcad.edu.ee.

Mathcad version Prime 9 is available. NB! Mathcad Prime 7 and 8 are still supported, but older versions are not.

When upgrading from an earlier version of Mathcad to Prime 7, "XMCD, MCD Converter" should also be installed to upgrade the calculations to the Prime version. Instructions on how to convert can be found here.
