Mathcad and Knovel Math

At PTC/User last week, Knovel released Knovel Math.  Here in Mathcad Product Management, we’re pretty excited about this.  We’ve provided solid, useful engineering reference content in Mathcad for a long time now.  However, as versions of the product increased, the engineering reference content remained static.  We’ve heard requests from customers that they’d like to see the content we provide to be updated, and to be available in multiple unit systems.  Further, we’ve had requests to offer other kinds of engineering content.

The Knovel Math solution meets those requests.  Knovel is mostly finished with digitizing the Roark’s and Hick’s content for use in Knovel’s extensive searchable database.  The Roark’s and Hick’s text will be purely digital, including reference tables.  Most to all of the examples that appear in the text will be available as live Mathcad worksheets.  In addition, these Mathcad examples will be available in both US Customary units, as well as the Metric unit system.

Knovel already has hundreds of titles that are digital and searchable for all kinds of engineering reference and use.  Moving forward, Knovel will be selecting titles that are suitable for “Mathcad enabling”.

Needless to say, we’re excited over here in Mathcad Product Management land.  We’re helping to address customer requests, and we’re partnering with a company that is the gold standard for engineering reference materials.
