MathSoft Introduces Updated Extension Packs and Newly Bundled Electronic Libraries for Mathcad 7 Customers.CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 23, 1998-- Products Increase Mathcad's Powerful Calculation and Reference Capabilities MathSoft, Inc. (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :MATH), provider of the broadest range of productivity tools for technical professionals and students, today unveiled an updated series of extension packs and electronic libraries for Mathcad(R) 7. Engineers can now more effectively augment the power of Mathcad 7 with added functionality and reference capabilities specifically designed to meet their professional needs. Delivering maximum calculation power, the Mathcad 7 Extension Packs are available for Numerical Recipes Numerical Recipes is the generic title of an influential series of books on algorithms and numerical analysis, all by William Press, Saul Teukolsky, William Vetterling and Brian Flannery: Overview , Image Processing image processing Set of computational techniques for analyzing, enhancing, compressing, and reconstructing images. Its main components are importing, in which an image is captured through scanning or digital photography; analysis and manipulation of the image, accomplished and Signal Processing See DSP. . The packs enable engineers to quickly and easily access and leverage additional functions for immediate use within Mathcad 7 Professional. Once a pack is installed, the new functions can be implemented in any Mathcad document in the same manner as standard Mathcad operators or functions. The Mathcad 7 electronic libraries offer complete, discipline-specific collections of the best-selling Mathcad books for electrical, civil and mechanical engineers. These time-proven reference materials are specifically revised and updated to take advantage of Mathcad 7's ease of use and calculation power. Engineers can easily search through the libraries for specific topics and examples, and then integrate the information into their own work. "For the past several years, I have counted on Mathcad as a powerful calculation and analysis tool for teaching and personal use. Favorite features include Mathcad's electronic libraries which provide both experienced and novice users with a convenient reference resource for engineering problem solutions," said Robb Larson, assistant professor of mechanical engineering, Montana State University Montana State University, at Bozeman; land-grant; coeducational; chartered 1893. It is primarily a technical institution specializing in agriculture, engineering, and applied sciences. The Museum of the Rockies is there. . "Instead of reaching to the bookcase bookcase Piece of furniture fitted with shelves, formerly often enclosed by doors. In early times the ambry, or wall cupboard, was used to hold books. Bookcases were included in the medieval fittings of college libraries in Britain. for textual references, I now often grab the electronic equivalent in Mathcad - and can cut and paste To move an object from one location to another. When the operation is complete, there is nothing left in the original location. It may refer to relocating files from one folder to another or to relocating selected text or images from one document to another. in my own numerical values. The time savings is tremendous, and ease of use is appreciated. The newly bundled electronic libraries are sure to become an essential resource for Mathcad users." According to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. Chris Randles, vice president of sales and marketing for MathSoft: "With more than a million engineers and scientists relying on Mathcad for their professional work, it is essential that MathSoft deliver the additional power and resources necessary to meet the most sophisticated computational and resource needs. The electronic libraries and extension packs are an important part of our strategy to make Mathcad 7 the most useful technical calculation tool available to users across our broad customer base. These resources become part of the Mathcad 7 desktop and seamlessly enhance the way the product streamlines engineering and technical projects and improves efficiency across entire engineering organizations." About Mathcad 7 Extension Packs The Mathcad 7 Extension Packs augment Mathcad's built-in function set, delivering additional capabilities for immediate application within Mathcad 7. -- The Numerical Recipes Extension Pack expands the set of available algorithms within Mathcad and delivers extra functions for differential equations, optimization and data modeling. The pack is based on the best-selling textbook, Numerical Recipes in C, from Cambridge University Press Cambridge University Press (known colloquially as CUP) is a publisher given a Royal Charter by Henry VIII in 1534, and one of the two privileged presses (the other being Oxford University Press). . -- The Image Processing Extension Pack provides Mathcad users with the functionality to perform smoothing, crisping, edge detection, erosion and dilation dilation /di·la·tion/ (di-la´shun) 1. the act of dilating or stretching. 2. dilatation. di·la·tion n. 1. algorithms on color and grayscale In computing, a grayscale or greyscale digital image is an image in which the value of each pixel is a single sample. Displayed images of this sort are typically composed of shades of gray, varying from black at the weakest intensity to white at the strongest, though in images. The add-on also enables Mathcad users to work with images in various formats such as BMP (1) (BitMaP) Also known as a "bump" file, it is the native, bitmapped graphics format in Windows. A BMP can be saved in several color options: 1-, 4-, 8- and 24-bit color provide 2, 16, 256 and 16,000,000 colors respectively. BMP files use the .BMP or . , GIF GIF in full Graphics Interchange Format Standard computer file format for graphic images. GIF files use data compression to reduce the file size. The original version of the format was developed by CompuServe in 1987. and JPEG JPEG in full Joint Photographic Experts Group Standard computer file format for storing graphic images in a compressed form for general use. JPEG images are compressed using a mathematical algorithm. . -- The Signal Processing Extension Pack includes more than 60 signal processing functions that add demonstration and implementation capabilities to Mathcad. Users can perform many variations of signal analysis including acoustic, optical, analogue or digital. About Mathcad 7 Electronic Libraries Mathcad 7 Electronic Libraries offer access to hundreds of standard calculation procedures, formulae and reference tables. All of the included books have been updated with a new interface and added features that take advantage of Mathcad 7's powerful calculation and browsing capabilities. -- The Civil Engineering Library includes Roark's Formulas for Stress & Strain, Building Structural Design and Building Thermal Analysis Thermal analysis is a branch of materials science where the properties of materials are studied as they change with temperature.
