Other "Report Style" Software Alternatives?
Other "Report Style" Software Alternatives?
(OP)
Hello All,
Are there any other "report style" software alternatives to MathCAD? I have to present technical reports of calculations, and I love how mathcad presents it in a readable format and the equations are "live". However, I'm not doing any substantial math work, only basic equations. In word, if I change one variable, I then must chase the changes all the way through the report, which can take a lot of time. MathCAD does this beautifully (along with many, many other higher end math features), but for me to buy it costs ~$1000. Are there other, less powerful math tools that would be less expensive but still have that on the fly updating when I change a variable?
Thanks for the help, Luke

I will probably buy the Mathcad 11 pro when it will be ~$100 for the commercial version (probably when the next version will come).
I also do not like the limited installation policy of the Mathcad 11 so I hope Mathsoft will change it.
