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.

This is a great piece of software! I use it on my Linux machine. With best regards from Munich, Germany.

Great work of A. Ivashov. SMath Studio is a powerfull and extremely intuitive software. Suitable for daily engineering practice.

Without a doubt it is one of the best tools for engineering, a good substitute for Mathcad

Thank you very much for your work and for you programm. I have just started to use it, but already see that it's a wonderful tool for engineers.

Absolutely Gorgeous software, which can be a level riser for spreadsheet calculation, seamlessly extended for any kind of mathematical application.

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