News i Mathcad Prime 1.0
New task-based interface
Promotes productivity while also enabling users to learn unfamiliar functions or features quickly and easily.
Document-centric calculation environment
This enables users to created detailed, professional engineering design documents that include complex calculations quickly and easily, using live standard math notation with text, images and graphs. Additionally, documents are easy to read and understand by non-Mathcad users, thus supporting effective communication of designs and engineering knowledge across the enterprise.
Advanced math exploration
Powerful capabilities along with an environment to display, manipulate, analyze and plot data with full units support.
Dynamic units support
Full support for units throughout all calculations created in Mathcad Prime 1.0 improves process efficiency by helping to reduce errors and increase accuracy of results.
Intuitive equation editor
WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) equation editor enables users to express problem constraints and solutions in natural math notation allowing users to focus on the calculations and spend less time manipulating the document.

Add-On Modules for Mathcad
There are a big number of additional add-ons and libraries to choose between.
Data Analysis Extension Pack
Engineers' time is valuable and limited. They must produce more efficiently and with better quality. And they must meet their individual, departmental and organizational goals of reducing errors, improving collaboration among peers and speeding up time-to-market cycles. The Data Analysis Extension Pack solidifies those objectives because it allows engineers to easily import, manipulate and analyze data in Mathcad Enterprise.
Wavelets Extension Pack
The Wavelets Extension Pack lets you take a new approach to signal and image analysis, time series analysis, statistical signal estimation, data compression analysis and special numerical methods.
Image Processing Extension Pack
The Image Processing Extension Pack, coupled with Mathcad, provides a powerful solution for iterative exploration and investigative analysis. With its extensive image processing, analysis and visualization capabilities, this Extension Pack is ideal for research scientists and engineers, design engineers, system analysts and image specialists working on imaging applications across many industries.
Signal Processing Extension Pack
With its extensive signal processing, analysis and visualization capabilities, the Signal Processing Extension Pack is ideal for electrical design, DSP, audio, recording and research engineers, as well as other engineers and scientists involved in a broad range of signal processing applications.
