The analysis process has been significantly speeded-up. • Adoption has lead to improved communication between engineers and raised product quality through clearer documentation. © 2006 PTC

Reference Statements “As Britain’s largest defence contractor, we need the best tools available such

Reference Statements “As Britain’s largest defence contractor, we need the best tools available such as Mathcad for our engineers. Anything less would be unacceptable. — Mark Conlin, Analysis Development Group Leader “I depend on Mathcad to be my tool for everything I do during the design process, from planning and executing our technical calculations to reporting… We conduct all team calculation work and reporting with Mathcad. It makes the process so streamlined that I can't imagine work without it. ” — Michael Ekholm “Mathcad provides me a standardized way to communicate. We have manufacturing in Mexico & key vendors in China. We're doing a field trial in Korea. We need to be able to share documents that all these people will understand. The one Language that's universal is mathematics. " — Mark Beigert © 2006 PTC
