RE: Evaluating CSC TEDDS "The Calculation Pad for the Professional Enginee
A similar software is MATHSERV. This is a server engine that lets you write an advanced form of BASIC code in any Windows word processor. Expressions can be as simple as =3.5*4.5, where the answer replaces the expression, or commented command lines, for example:
angles in degrees, A = {10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45}
convert to radians, A = A*_pi/180
print A, sin(A), cos(A)
The language includes powerful commands for matrix manipulation, graphics generation, statistical calculations and numerical analysis. Type casting is automatic, array generation is dynamic. A really handy tool which I use daily in my work because it eliminates transcription errors, lets you see mis-fingered values, and presents a neat design audit trail with graphics in Wordpad or any other word processor.

A := (15,30,45,60,75,90} deg
sin(A) = (0.259, 0.5, 0.707, 0.866, 0.966, 1)
Additionally, square roots and other math symbols are displayed as square roots not a sqrt() function.
For very serious symbolic calculation, it has the MAPLE engine built in.

I used the feature a lot, therefore, I wrote my own little routine to add it to any word processor.
Like other engineers, I also solved many problems by writing a few simple lines of BASIC code. The only nuisance was that this had to be run in a separate interpreter. So I extended the "Calculate" routine to interpret BASIC code directly in any word processor and store the variables in a document-related data base.
This was the genesis of MATHSERV. If you email me on engcomp@hinet.net.au, I shall be happy to send you more information and a FREE copy for your evaluation.
Of course, there are numerous other tools like MathCAD, MATLAB, CSC TEDDS and some very powerful spreadsheets. I often use the latter, but for comprehensive design audit trails MATHSERV is my favourite.
