SMath Studio

SMath Studio is a great alternative to MathCAD. It is small and portable. I use it primarily for structural engineering calculations and for documenting my work. Many thanks to Andrey and the other developers for this great tool.

Smath is easy to use tool and its is freeware.I used for engineering calculations instead of easing excel. Its a time saver.

As a civil engineer, over the years I have frequently used MathCAD for not only performing but also documenting calculations. With PTC dropping perpetual licensing, my recommendation to all the junior engineers I train is to give SMath Studio a serious look. While not a turnkey replacement for MathCAD, it provides most of the functionality and power at an incredible price. Already a wonderful program filling a key niche spot between a numerical calculator like Octave, and a CAS like Maxima, the expanding plugin and 3rd party development is on the rise and this project's future keeps getting even brighter. Much consideration must be given by any engineer or business before they settle on a software for adopting into the workflow. Although not open-source in the strictest sense, the development community is similar to what you would find in any first class OSS software project. The current owner of the SMath Project has also agreed to release the source code under open source license should he not be able to continue the project. So do not let the cost (your time) of learning SMath Studio and migrating your MathCAD computation sheets scare you. This project is here to stay.

Imagine combining Microsoft Word with the ability to compute every time you press equals. Best application for your engineering documentation needs!

The secret power of the original MathCad was its self-documenting feature. SMath brings this back and it is free. Amazing. Write your math essentially the same way you would write it by hand, but it is live. The math is calculated left-to-right then top-to-bottom. Self-documenting and live. Wonderful.

This has been a great step up from Excel. Extensive (and extensible) support for engineering units opens a new world for well documented everyday analysis. Thank you!

Es ist die einzige Alternative zum mittlerweile desaströsen MathCAD. Mit dem ich Jahrzehnte -seit der Version 3.0- sehr gut und gern arbeitete. MathCAD war exzellent, um komplizierte Mathematik im Ingenieurwesen anzuwenden. MathCAD ist heute viel unübersichtlicher und alles dauert viel länger, bei drastisch reduzierter Funktionalität. Das MathCAD-Team empfiehlt "Profis" Shortcuts, wie in Zeiten, als die Bildschirme noch grün waren. Ich wünsche mir, dass Ihr, Andrey und Dein Team, auch die Apple-Version bald offerieren könnt und Euch vor allem auf mathematische Features für Ingenieure fokussiert. Dass man auch bald mit wieder mit Operatoren, wie dem NABLA-Operator symbolisch rechnen kann. Viel Erfolg auf Eurem Weg. Mit SMath Mathematik in mathematischer Notation anwenden, ist wie Muttersprache sprechen. Die geniale Idee, Funktionen und Operationen auf einen virtuellen Taschenrechner zu packen, ist extrem intuitiv und erleichtert die Bedienung. Weiter so.

Excelente programa, es como tener el clásico papel y lápiz pero ahora con un potente calculador y con muchas funciones, me gustaría que tenga opciones de base de datos para poder usarlo en la ciencia Estadística.

I have used MathCAD since 1997. Loved it. I used to work for the Nuclear Industry in Canada, and we had these long calculation sheets fully written in MathCAD. As an independent researcher, I also had a student version which I could simply purchase from a campus bookstore as a CD. A few years later, disaster struck! A greedy corporate entity purchased MathCAD and destroyed it. A tool created for engineers by engineers with engineering in mind was destroyed by MBAs with only money in their minds. I was helpless until I discovered SMath. I was amazed at how SMath could do so many things with the installation file being just a few MB! And Andrey simply gave it away to us for free!! SMath has truly filled the void left by the now-extinct "old MathCAD". The fact that SMath is not bloatware and gives us researchers exactly what we need are reasons enough to call Andrey a genius. My dear Andrey, many of us are out there in various parts of the world quietly blessing you for helping us do our research calculations. You are a noble soul with a spirit that cares for a better world. Trust me, you have in your own way made our world a better place to live through SMath. God bless you. I shall surely donate an amount as a symbolic gesture for your great work. Please continue to serve the world and may God bless you with good health, a long life, peace, prosperity, and a sound mind that scientifically contributes for as long as you live and pave the way for your glorious legacy long after we are all gone.

Simplemente la mejor y libre alternativa a Mathcad. Gracias
