Best way to learn Mathcad?
(OP)
I am contemplating upgrading from Mathcad 8 Professional to Mathcad 12. Currently I am a novice user - e.g. I can't use it to solve for unknowns. I read the manual and online tutorials and it doesn't help. What would be the best way to learn how to use Mathcad 12 effectively? Are there any training classes available that someone recommends? Thank you for your help.
Regards,
Cory

I must confess that in practice they are very finicky, but so far as I can remember the tutorial and help had enough detail to explain what was going on, after a bit of thought.
I don't know about training courses, I've been using Mathcad since v1 !

If you post your file on the Mathcad collaboratory, someone there will be able to help you. They tend to be very forgiving of newbies, so don't hestitate to try it.

You need have a specific problem and the desire together. While it obviously results in high stress, you'll remember what you learned much more than if you simply took a class without a concrete problem to apply the knowledge against.

As a registered user, there should several E-Books and utilities available for download.
Additionally, the Mathsoft library has bunches of files for downloading: http://www.mathcad.com/resources/mathcad_files/
