ENSC 428 Home Page
Welcome to the ENSC 428 home page for
semester 01-1.
Many of the demos and assignment solutions on
these pages are written in Mathcad (.mcd
filename extension), because its equations are all executable objects. You can
run experiments or try different parameter values, and watch graphs or
calculated values change - very instructive!
- If
you have Mathcad version 8 on your computer, it will start up when you
click on a link to a .mcd file. Alternatively, you can use Mathcad's
integrated browser (Help; Resource Centre; click the button with a globe
and two blue arrows; then use the address
http://www.ensc.sfu.ca/people/faculty/cavers/ENSC428/ and bookmark it).
- What
if you don't have Mathcad on your computer? In that case, go to the
Mathsoft web site and download a free copy of Mathcad Explorer (just use
the hot button below). It's a combined web browser and version 8 Mathcad
package that lets you view and change Mathcad files, but not print or save
them.
- And
what if you don't have a Windows machine on which to run Mathcad Explorer?
Then you'll have to be content with reading the PDF versions that, of
course, are not interactive.
