Using Mathcad to Teach Undergraduate Mathematical Economics.

Walbert, Mark S.; Ostrosky, Anthony L.

Journal of Economic Education, v28 n4 p304-15 Fall 1997

Describes the use of Mathcad, an interactive software package that responds to mathematical input, in an undergraduate economics class. Mathcad uses a rules-based programming language that "reads" the relationships among variables and constraints defined by the user, solves for unknowns, and graphs for one or more equations. (MJP)
