Moving Beyond the Limitations of Spreadsheets: How the Simultaneous Design and Documentation of Calculations Promote Engineering Excellence

Overview While spreadsheets have found their place in organizations as a way to handle tabular data and basic math operations, they fail to fulfill the more advanced computational needs of engineers as well as the larger business objectives of the engineering organization. To truly find the "Right tool for the job." engineering departments must fully examine their needs within the context of both the engineer and the engineering organization. Mathcad moves beyond the capabilities of the spreadsheet, providing a solution that is expressly designed to better manage calculations. Mathcad not only speaks in the language of the engineers - using real math notation - but also captures the assumptions, methods, and critical data behind every calculation.
