ok Mathcad and SAGE and Cocalc I have only touched these programs the reviews I read on Mathcad don't seem to be very good yet some community colleges here worship it I am very reluctant to dive into it On SAGE never heard of it until we had to do a project with it in Linear Algebra kinda...

Hi, I have a long differential equation which I am typing into mathcad. I want to use either dot or dashed notation instead of d/dt to shortern it and make it more readable. Do you know how I can do this so that it actually recognises it as a derivative? I

Air Force Lug Analysis (section 9 here and summarized here) seems to be the best generalized method for comprehensive lug analysis. However, it relies on charts developed by the USAF in the late sixties. Every source I've found on the method uses those same images. I'm trying to make an...

Hello, I am looking for some advice. I'm trying to perform array operations on vectors in MATHCAD. I am able to do it for vectors and matrices that have both dimensions that are 9 units or shorter. Anything that is 10 units or longer (ex, a vector with 10 elements) outputs a result such as...

I'm having trouble solving for two variables in Mathcad. I'm relatively inexperienced with this software and I'm not sure whether it's the software or my math but anyway I've included screen dumps to highlight the problem. I have tried the Given/Find block in two different ways. The first does...

Hello, I'm trying to use mathcad to do Rayleigh-Ritz approximation of the critical elastic buckling load of a joists top chord. The joists support a standing seam roof which acts to stabilize the top chord from out of plain buckling. In order to approximate the buckled shape, I chose to use...

Hello I am trying to teach myself how to use mathcad and am having some issues. I am trying to sum the rows and cols of a matrix respectively. using i for the row index and j for the col index. I have as of now defined a variable sum eiether row or colum and am using a summation of...

I know that Mathcad only takes partial derivatives. I set up my equations using this general format: L:= x(t) Then, I take the derivative of L with respect to t and get the following: dL/dt -> d/dt*x(t) However, when I take the derivative of L with respect to x, I should get 1, but...
