Here is what's new in PTC Mathcad Prime 10
Unleash the potential of PTC Mathcad Prime 10 with advanced controls with scripting, the ability to choose a solution algorithm for functions and definite integrals, and improved multithreading for faster, more efficient calculations in specific situations. Enhance your mathematical experience with an easy-to-use interface with new usability updates and enhancements to the symbolic and numeric engines that streamline tasks and increase productivity. Upgrade to PTC Mathcad Prime 10 and change the way you do your most important calculations.
PTC Mathcad Prime 10 introduces several updates to application-level functionality, including key features requested by users.
- Advanced controls - Advanced controls allow users to enhance their worksheets with controls such as list boxes, radio buttons, check boxes, buttons, sliders and text boxes. These allow users to precisely define the behaviour of each control within the worksheet. This feature provides a configurable and detailed approach to manipulating variable values through scripting with VBScript and JScript.
- Choice of solver algorithms - Mathcad Prime 10 now allows you to choose a solver algorithm for functions and definite integrals. Enhanced functions include pdesolve, odesolve, numol, genfit, polyroots, find, minimise, maximise, minerr and definite integral algorithms. This gives you greater flexibility and control over the results of your calculations.
- Subscript and superscript in documentation - You can now use subscript and superscript formatting in your text areas to document variable names or parameters with exponents.

Improvements to symbolic
- Expanded use of the keyword Full: Mathcad Prime 10 has extended the use of the fully keyword with additional use cases. We have also added support for the fact and max modifiers to this keyword.
- New standard keyword: We have added a new keyword, standard, which allows Big-O notation with series expansion, as well as displaying the integration constant in indefinite integrals.
- Improved undefined support: We have improved support for undefined results in the symbolic engine, providing greater compatibility and equivalence with the numeric engine's NaN, allowing symbolic support of the NaN class of functions.
- General keyword improvements: There are general improvements to the Rewrite, Solve, and Simplify keywords. Rewrite is extended with five new modifiers, arg, atan2, fact, sign and Φ, to allow rewriting expressions in their respective terms. solve and simplify have many additional supported use cases.
- Improved performance of arithmetic operators
Improvements to the numeric engine
- Partial differential equation (PDE) solving with pdesolve now supports mixed boundary condition setting, implicit and explicit boundary conditions, and unit intelligence within PDE systems.
- The numerical engine has improved behaviour for inline allocation evaluation and for handling unitless zeros in a matrix.
- Multithreading improvements: Multithreading enhancements allow you to take full advantage of its functionality. These improvements can increase the efficiency of worksheet calculations, particularly those with independently calculable domains.
Mathcad Prime 10 introduces several notable usability updates to improve the user experience.
- You can now seamlessly open worksheets directly from an included worksheet, streamlining workflow and improving accessibility.
- You can now open files directly from the legacy Mathcad Worksheet Converter.
The software now supports both world and system date formats in headers and footers to accommodate your date format preferences. - You can now link to a specific section in another worksheet.
- You can now hide the borders of collapsible areas to improve the aesthetics of your documents, especially when printing.
