COMPUTER PROGRAM
DEFINITION
Set of instructions in a logical sequence
interpreted and executed by a computer enabling
the computer to perform a required function;
also called software. Programs are the "thought
processes" of computers, without which they
cannot operate. Programs are written in various
languages, to conform with the operating system
of particular computers.
MathCAD
The mathematical tool
Introduction
User interface
Writing cursor '+'
Math toolbars :
Calculator equation symbols
Graph building the charts
Matrix inserting matrix/vectors, matrices and vectoral
operation
Calculus derivatives, integrals, limits, summation, iterated
product
Symbolic
Evaluation
Boolean logical operation
Programming
Greek inserting Greek letters
Basic operations
Typing:
"normal" text
Default
Numbers notation
Floating-point notation:
1.23104
keystrokes : [1][.][2][3][*][1][0][^][4]
MathCAD intro
Algebraic expressions
+,-,/,*(not always needed), power [^]
Functions arguments "(...)"
Result (evaluation): [=]
[2][/][3][+][3][^][2][][l][n][(][3][)][=]
or
[2][/][3][+][3][^][2][space bar][l][n][(][3][)][=]
To go back to basic level press spacebar or arrow right

typing Latin letter)
Case sensitivity: xX
Subscripts (not vector/matrix subscripts) [.]
Prim: x`, bis: x`` etc.
MathCAD intro
Expression to variable:
y:=2x+3
