SMath Studio

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.

Thanks Andrey Ivashov for this wonderful tool that you provided. It is designed very well and the best opensource alternative to MathCAD available.

La aparición del proyecto Smath, cubre un vacío que existía en el ámbito del software gratuito para Ingeniería. Es un proyecto que llegó para quedarse, ya que permite logros muy buenos a quienes utilizan esta herramienta. felicitaciones a Andrey y el gran equipo de colaboradores que cada uno con su aporte desinteresado hacen crecer esta aplicación que ya podemos caratular como de uso profesional

excellent

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!

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

This is a great tool. Just like Mathcad. I'd encourage science/engineering students to use it. And you get a copy of your work.

This tool is amazing. It helped me on my university more times than i can imagine.

Best WYSYWIG math software, with outstanding cost/effect factor! In some areas even better thought than it's commercial oponent (auto complete, very big plugin database, small program size etc). Highly reccomended.
