Hello Michael,

Mathcad 4.0 was sold in 1993. I had it at that time (15 years ago) but it is
very ancient these days. If your computer is fairly modern and has a CD
drive, I suggest "bite the bullet" and get the book with the almost freebie
version 14.0 program attached. If you are using a very early computer that
has no CD drive and if your version 4.0 works OK, you could try it. I
believe it is possible to get the book alone. I personally would not want to
waste my valuable time with that approach. Also, the CD has the Mathcad User
Guide, which is very useful. I can't emphasize too much the excellence of
the new 14.0 version.

Hello K,

The Mathcad program itself sells for several hundred dollars. The PTC
Company publishes this program, and it alone is quite expensive. The disk
in my book is part of a promotional plan by PTC to encourage the sales
and use of the Mathcad program. Even if the book itself is of no value,
which I do not believe, the Mathcad is of considerable value. Go to
www.PTC.com if you want to learn more about Mathcad.

I have Mathcad 4.0; would it be sufficient? If so, is the book available
separately?

Michael
