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/.
