Entering math expressions in PTC Mathcad is as easy as writing on a piece of paper. You can type the expressions directly using natural math notation.
You can enter the following types of math expressions into a math or text region:
Algebra
Calculus
Boolean
Matrices and Vectors
Tables
Strings
Additional Information
• You can enter a matrix, or table, using its keyboard shortcut, or by inserting it from the Ribbon.
• You can enter an operator by typing the operator, by typing the operator’s keyboard shortcut, or by inserting it from the Ribbon.
• When you enter numbers greater than 999, do not use a comma or a period to separate digits into groups of three. Simply type the digits one after another. For example, to enter ten thousand, type 10000.
• Typing 3x is equivalent to typing 3*x, but typing xy is not equivalent to typing x*y. PTC Mathcad interprets xy as a single variable name.
