Alternative to MathCad
Alternative to MathCad
(OP)
Does anyone know an alternative to MathCad?
I've many useful sheets on Mathcad format made on my previous work and I can't use now for lack of license.
I would like to know if there is an open source or a cheaper commercial software that can read and use MathCad file.
Thanks in advance

I think I have to let them go . . .
I'm still looking for an alternative to MathCad!
The requisites I'm looking are:
1- White paper where I can write text
2- Define and resolve equations
3- Make some graph
4- Make some drawing
5- Possible be open source or very cheap.
6- Easy of use for non skilled people
Best candidate is Excel, but I would like to have a white paper instead of a cell division, and I would like to see equations (as in Mathcad).
Because equations hidden in cells are very prone to errors!
The objective is to write engineering calculus in way to make a good and readable report of work done.
Second objective is to make useful calculus sheet for normal engineering problems

You can enter a text function and the evaluate function will evaluate it for any specified values of the parameters.

I intend to write the equations in Octave, and then the text and other pictures, and links to the relevant octave fies, go into a docu-wiki.
It has the great advantage of being free.

GregLocock: I'm investigating your approach, I need to learn two software and I need to find good arguments to explain to others engineers why they have to learn two software.
But is open source and I'm interested.
I also love the congruent system of unit of MathCad. There is any other software with the same system?
