Update (10th Feb 2010): <\/strong>There is an update to this post here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I received a lot of feedback from my recent post Is Mathcad Dying?<\/a> and, thanks to a couple of readers, I have learned of some new (new to me at least) information sources concerning this product and they all point to a major new mathematical product coming from PTC called Mathcad Prime.<\/p>\n

The first ‘new’ Mathcad information source is the blog, Engineering with Mathcad<\/a>, and its associated Twitter feed<\/a>.\u00a0 I am not sure if this blog is official or not because all of the posts are currently anonymous but the author(s) seems to know what is going on in the Mathcad world and it is well worth a look.<\/p>\n

The second is another blog, simply called Mathcad,<\/a> which is written by the Mathcad product management team.\u00a0 It’s only been going since the beginning of the month but there are already some interesting posts there including The right tool for the job<\/a> and Mathcad and Knovel Math<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So it looks like PTC DO have something up their sleeve in the form of a new product called Mathcad Prime.\u00a0 Until very recently I hadn’t heard of it and I am yet to see some screenshots, videos or demos myself but it was apparently demonstrated at a PTC user conference recently. Google seems to know very little about it\u00a0 at the moment though.<\/p>\n

Perhaps news of Mathcad’s death has been greatly exaggerated!\u00a0 Does anyone out there know more about this product?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
